However, I thought I saw one on a tree in my front yard the other day - no binoculars, but the size and color and behavior were right. I'm near Piscataway Creek, and have small woodlands, wetlands, and scattered houses in the immediate vicinity. I'd like to know what others' experiences are - I'll certainly watch for a return of this little sickle-billed tree climber in this spot - where I have seen one fairly often in winter. marcia nelson Accokeek, MD marciaen@aol.com ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
