It took some swipes at some flying insects that were also exploiting the area. I hear from the rumor mill that Janet Draper, the Ripley gardener, has determined that the little bird's name is "Rosie", short for RoseMary. I'll get more details when I see Janet. Meanwhile the sugar water is flowing, so all should be well Jim Jim Felley Smithsonian Institution felleyj@si.edu ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
