MDO et al.: For the past several weeks I have been seeing (sporadically) a Peregrine Falcon near the crest of the Thomas Johnson bridge between Calvert and St. Mary's counties. Again, this morning, 8/3, it was perched on the center light pylon which straddles the 2 counties. I have seen it most often in the early morning but have seen it as late as 10 a.m. perched there or flying parallel to the bridge. As an addendum, there was a Southern Maryland Audubon Society trip to Pax River NAS on 8/1 where we had excellent looks at 28 Upland Sandpipers on the airfield and Least, Common and Forster's Terns along the coast. -- Good Birding! ...and all this science, Tyler Bell I don't understand, It's mailto:bell@say.acnatsci.org just my job five days a week.
