I keep reminding myself that many birds keep a pretty low profile this time of year anyway (not singing, not needing to come to feeders), so let's wait for the seasons to change before we panic. This numbers from this year's CBCs and other counts will provide important data. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
