It was on the first road in, at the rear of the impoundment next to where the old gated Gun Club Road turns in. We viewed it for about 5 minutes until one of the approx. 7 Bald Eagles present made a pass across the marsh and scattered massive numbers of waterfowl. We failed to relocate the bird in about 3 hrs of trying. There were also large numbers of Wigeon in the marsh viewed from the clam shell camping area on Riley Roberts Rd. Seem a good place to look in light of the Eurasian Wigeon there last winter. Also saw 8 Tree Swallows Don & Carol Broderick Salisbury, MD cdbird@ezy.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
