MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline Sunday 12/29/02, at 7:30 am, I saw a number of Eastern Bluebirds flying around the vicinity of our heated backyard birdbath, in Darnestown, Montgomery County. When I reached the living room window where I could see the birdbath itself, I was amazed and delighted to see SEVEN bluebirds together crowded around the edge of the birdbath! They were immediately joined by a Yellow-rumped Warbler. After a brief lively discussion, two of the Bluebirds jumped into the bath itself, others of the Bluebirds started drinking pretty heavily, someone ejected the Yellow-rumped Warbler,and the holiday party went downhill from there. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
