Ospreyers:
Below is a message that came out on MDO on Saturday, a day after the
sighting. Several southern Maryland birders tried to relocate this bird
without success. However, if there had been notification at the time...
This also happened a few winters ago with an Atlantic Puffin at Point
Lookout. The person(s) who found the bird didn't know who to call and
left the bird. Calling the Voice of the Naturalist is great but doesn't
help spread the word until after the fact.
In case any of you are ABA members, you might carry the latest or an old
version of the membership directory with you when you bird. This will
give you the numbers of several local birders wherever you are. For
southern Maryland, you can call:
Patty Craig 301-872-5670
Kyle Rambo 301-373-5057
Doug Lister 301-994-2582
Jane Kostenko & Tyler Bell 301-862-4623
Bob Boxwell 301-872-5998
Shirley Wood 301-884-0594
Greg Miller 410-394-0769
Arlene Ripley 410-257-6105
or any other name you find in the directory since we are all linked by
the Southern Maryland Audubon phone tree.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: Woodstork at Point Lookout
On Wed. Aug. 19th between 3:30 & 3:45 PM, I watched a single Woodstork
fly
over & land at the small pond behind the boat-launch parking lot at
Point
Lookout, St. Mary's Co., MD. I was standing on the new bridge that has
been
built over the outflow as the bird came into view. It landed on the far
side
of the pond, to the right of the Osprey platform. I tried,
unsuccessfully, to
call the Voice of the Naturalist today to report the sighting. No one
answered the phone & there was no voice mail. If you wish to discuss
this
further you may e-mail me or call 516-473-6895.
I reported the bird at the park office at about 4:10 that afternoon.
