Co), Oland Rd 2/1 In-Reply-To: <003101c3e86a$be24b540$7a6bf7a5@DAD> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear all Drove some backroads around upper Montgomery Co this morning and came across a Common Raven in a field 1/2 mile S of Poolesville on W Willard Rd. It got chased off by a crow. I ended up at Oland Rd in Frederick Co.. The large lark flock reported yesterday is still there, with a Peregrine in attendance. Most of the flock was on the far side of the manured field but small groups came in closer - around 5% of these were Lapland Longspurs including some very bright males but I couldn't see any Snow Buntings. The Peregrine landed on the field very close at one point. Regards Clive Harris Cabin John, Md --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
