The Hawk obligingly lit on an ash tree over the river just 25 feet from the window. There it sat for 20 minutes or so, allowing me to get some great digiscope pics. It was a Cooper's (BTW). Interesting at the same time I notices a stunning male Wood Duck on the water below it. The duck stayed in our cove till dusk where it was associating loosly with a few mallards and Canada Geese. (I also get some great pics of the duck too...) 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 ======================================================================= =========================================================================
