Steve, Tyler, Les...thanks for the ideas.  Les, I'll be looking 
for your reports!  <grin>  Tyler...we did go to Pt. Lookout last 
summer, hoping to find the Herons around the boat dock.  No such 
luck.  Don't you find that the easiest birds for some people, 
just disappear for others.  <more grins>

Steve and Don,  I guess you can tell we hardly ever bird in 
Baltimore.  Unfortunately for us, since I think there is a lot 
of good birding to be had there.  We scouted out the area way 
back when one winter, but were so put off by the difficulty of 
parking that we gave up.  We tried again, this summer and 
Winter, without too much additional luck.  However, we will 
definitely follow your directions for the Herons when time is 
ripe.

Marsh--you have given us the excuse to take that long awaited 
trip to Smith.  I've made a special note of the Eastern Shore 
sites for the Uppies, too.  Somehow I thought that tracing 
Uppies would be realistic only during later  Fall migration, but 
your note seems to imply otherwise, so we'll make appropriate 
plans.

Thanks a million to all of you.  Will keep you informed!

Fran
