About 15 minutes later, through the cloud of Chimney Swifts & constant stream of B-C Night Herons, I watched & listened to 2 nighthawks directly above my apartment building. That was actually the birdiest time I had witnessed today, far surpassing 8:20 a.m. Nothing unusual, but a lot of vocalization. Not even a Blackpoll to be heard this morning. -- Carrol Cowan Washington DC ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
