(good habitat but lots of trash to see in the winter). The bird was in a cherry tree behind my house, & then in the Pyracantha. I'll keep looking and post if I see it again. I did get a good enough look to feel confident of the ID. -----Original Message----- From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM] On Behalf Of Gail Mackiernan Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 12:35 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] yellow-headed blackbird in Upper Marlboro Hi Susan -- The Yellow-headed Blackbird is a much-wanted species in Maryland for a lot of us (I for one constantly seem to miss them!) -- so I wondered if you had more detailed information on where you saw the bird. Also, if you see it again perhaps let Mdosprey know...
