That might be small potatoes to the rest of you, but they were a first for me and I am still excited. maryanne dolan washington dc abtrowbridge@msns.com p.s. (and yes, I did ID them myself with no corraboration, but really...what else could they have been?..they looked liked someone held them by the beak, dipped them into a vat of scarlet paint, then spray painted the wings a jet black. Stunning!) ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
