Well, close enough to report in anyway. A quick stop off on the way to shopping around 3pm resulted in the following birds. The winds were making my eyes tear up constantly, so getting a good look at some of the more distant birds was difficult. In particular, at first I thought I saw an Osprey come flying in, but in hindsight, it was probably a third-year Bald Eagle. The eye stripe was very prominent and the face seemed very wite around that eye stripe. Hope someone else keeps a sharp eye in the area as we may have a late Osprey. Not worth reporting outside of this list anway. 20 Hooded Mergansers Pair of American Wigeon dozen Buffleheads 6 Blue Heron Mallards - didn't count #s 9 Double Crested Cormorants 1 or 2 Pied Billed Grebe, maybe a Scaup or two. 3 Mature Greater Black Back Gulls Smattering of immature Herring Gulls Many Ring Billed Gulls Denise Ryan, Washington DC ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
