I cannot believe she would have perched like that if it were a gunfire day. Also one winter wren, 2 sharpies, swamp sparows and my first white- throat of the year there. plus 6 Greater Yellowlegs, set down briefly in the largest impoundment, then circled several times calling and split. don Simonson ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
