Heard another one this morning at J. Patterson = Park in Calvert. Also had a Great-crested Flycatcher. Our Wood Thrush = showed up Friday and due to the nice weather, we woke up to it singing = this morning. It really helps to have the window open to hear the dawn = chorus! Saw a David and Goliath today: a Red-tailed Hawk being mobbed by Blue-gray = Gnatcatchers. It was amazing how small they were compared to the hawk. The = hawk didn't even flinch like they do with crows. Must have thought they = were gnats not gnatcatchers. Hope this high pressure system brings some migrants with it. There seem to = be very few so far :( Tyler Bell bell@acnatsci.org California, Maryland Wave that flag...wave it wide and high!
