Right now the river elm (I think that's what it is) outside my balcony is enshrouded in crystal, with spots of color from a house finch and a female cardinal. A downy woodpecker is working the suet as usual. Everything is very still at the moment - oops - not anymore. The titmouse gang has arrived. A grackle stopped by a couple of hours ago. All in all, feeder activity this past week has been frenetic. Miserable weather - true - but certainly interesting and great to be on the inside looking out. 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 ** --------------------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM]On > Behalf Of Chris Starling > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:51 AM > To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM > Subject: [MDOSPREY] Miserable day ou there... > > > The weather is totally miserable today!
