All the usual feeder species shoving & jostling for a space at the bar, and finally a Whitethroat. I've had song and chipping sparrows on the balcony before, but no Whitethroats til now. I put food in the cinderblocks that hold up my platform feeders - he made himself at home there munching on peanuts for quite some time. Looks like I'm not going to get much done today. There was an immature Coopers hawk hanging around a few days ago - wouldn't be surprised if he showed up today. I recommended squirrel to him but he was more interested in something in the bushes in front of the adjoining building. I don't think he ever caught whatever it was. Hope everybody is able to stay home and enjoy this. fdp -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Pierce (DNRC)- fpierce@avialantic.com Mid-Atlantic Aviation on the Web - http://www.avialantic.com ** Mid Atlantic Air Museum WWII Weekend Airshow June 6-8 2003 - www.maam.org/maamwwii.html ** *** World Airshow News - www.worldairshownews.com ** --------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
