Highlights were a Willow = Flycatcher and a stunning close-up look at a very cooperative = Yellow-Crowned Night Heron. Other birds of note at Lilypons: several Great Egrets, a probable = Cooper's Hawk, Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, lots of Purple Martins (impossible = to miss, given the number of martin houses), Yellow Warbler (silent = female), Baltimore and Orchard Orioles (probably immature females in = both cases), calling Barred Owls. After an initial unproductive pass down Oland Road and a short trip down = to Noland's Ferry (little new except Northern Parulas and many Northern = Rough-Winged Swallows), we returned for a final pass down Oland Road = around 3:30 or so and were rewarded with an Upland Sandpiper. It was on the north side of Oland Road between New Design Road and Route = 85, in the grassy field east of the corn field. We had a good look for = about 30 seconds, and then it walked behind a rise and out of sight. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =========================================================================
