I've been out of town and am sorry I missed the first return of the Night Herons. Hope to see them this weekend. I don't know the answer to your question about nests, but would be interested to hear what the answers are if anyone responds. Enjoy the weekend. Hope to see you at the zoo one day soon.

Most sorted themselves out among three trees over the Cassawary (sp?) and Greater Rheas, but a few loners were in the trees over the ponds in front of the Bald Eagle flight cage. > > Does each bird reclaim a prior nest, or is it first-come, first-serve? > > maryanne dolan > washington dc > ABTrowbridge@msn.com > > ======================================================================= > To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com > with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey > ======================================================================= ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
