The young still beg from, and are fed by, the adults. They can be watched at places like Four-Mile Run, in DC, and Hunting Creek, VA. Juvenile Ring-billed Gills are arriving now as well, but they are independent of the adults Dave Czaplak ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
