While we were out there i observed the folowing birds; Cecil County: Bonaparte's Gull, Caspian Tern, D.C Cormorant, Bald Eagle, Osprey; Harford County: Caspian Tern, Osprey, D.C. Cormorant, Great Cormorant - (county bird for me). Later that night I had a lone Spotted Sandpiper on the beach in front of my house (2nd record). Also singing Chipping Sparrows and N. Parula. Sunday, at my mother-in-law's house (Hances Point, Cecil) I obsereved many D.C. Cormorant, 6 hen Common Mergs, and a Red-necked Grebe on the North East River. Also had Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Yellow-rumped Warbler in the trees. Good Birding, Chris Starling ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
