Ospreyers -
The message below was sent in June, 1998. I nominate Paul O'Brien as "The
Great Predictor" of the year. As you may know, we subsequently had an
immature White Ibis at Papermill Flats in Baltimore County, (24) Wood
Storks at Downs Park in Anne Arundel County, and the lingering immature
Wood Stork at Pt. Lookout in St. Mary's County.
So, Paul ... what's in store for us this year ... ????
