Les: No recent reports of the loon in either state, but... A birder's car was broken into on Cook's Landing Road on Sunday and the state police have warned that it is an increasingly frequent occurrence there. This is a pity because a member of the Pennsylvania Department of Wildlife came by and said that the Maryland/Pennsylvania line is less than 100 yards south of the parking lot at the end of Cook's Landing Road. It offers terrific access to the Maryland portion of the river. Rick "It's not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one's thoughts. It saves having to bother anyone with them."
