Co), Oland Rd 2/1 In-Reply-To: <401D836F.3020303@erols.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My wife, Melinda, and I also were at the Oland road area and I spoke, I believe, to Clive, just before he left, shortly after we arrived. Another couple from the Baltimore Birding Club, ??(sorry, forgot your name) and Claudia, arrived soon after we did. We all got to see horned larks, lapland longspurs, and a few snow buntings. They saw the peregrine, and there were a few pipits in the area just as we arrived.
