I'm completely clueless about them--sre there many types? Are they migratory? ----- Original Message ----- From: Walter Ellison To: Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 8:06 AM Subject: [MDOSPREY] Terrapin Park 11/24 -Orange-crowned Warbler > Hi All, > > Nancy, Ian and I took a trip down to Kent Island yesterday and spent a lot of time walking around Terrapin Park. We managed to locate 44 species of bird and four butterfly species. Avian highlights included an American Bittern feeding on tadpoles or minnows along the edge of the northernmost impoundment just east of the North Beach, a good selection of waterbirds on the Bay including 22 Horned Grebes, and an Orange-crowned Warbler in the swampy area just east of the Maintenance Area gate. The orange-crown was "classic" with its broken eyering, faint dusky line through the eye, grayish crown and face, gray-green wings and back, and light yellow underparts with blurry gray-green streaks. This was one of the most prominently streaked orange-crowns I've ever seen. In the evening we saw quite a few large bats feeding over Route 8 in the southern part of Kent Island, presumably either hoary or red bats that had roosted in the trees along the road. > > Good Birding, > > Walter Ellison > MD-DC Atlas Coordinator - MOS > 23460 Clarissa Road > Chestertown, MD 21620 > phone: 410-778-9568 > e-mail: rossgull@crosslink.net > > "A person who is looking for something doesn't travel very fast" - E.
