Yesterday Bill and I went on what seems to be our weekly Wye Island =
trip. We only stayed for two hours, but still managed to see 45 species. =
The Barred Owl we saw last week was not showing itsself. We tried =
calling, but did not hear a reply. There were several flocks of Pipits =
and Horned Larks, nothing mixed in. The Bald Eagle was on its nest. The =
Ranger said it did not nest there last year and were hopeful it would =
this year. The signs are up, closing off the area, but the nest is easy =
to see from the road.=20
Some highlights are:
