Hi All:
A brief stop at the Elkton Industrial Park on Rt. 40 this am gave me my
first **Prairie Warbler of the year.  Field Sp. were numerous and
singing.  4 Brown Thrasher also gave voice.  At home, I enjoyed a rest
on the deck and surveyed my " kingdom " while sipping on my Cold and Flu
hot drink.  ( Don`t you hate being sick this time of year, or any time
for that matter. )
** New yard bird- Savannah Sp, preening and taking a wet leaf bath in a
wild cherry tree, then flew over to the adjacent hay field.  A robin
amused me in its` monopoly of a bird bath- thrash around, perch, shake
feathers and call, repeat, repeat.  It was finally satisfied after the
3rd repetition and sat in a maple giving itself a beauty treatment.  I
was also admiring a White-throated sp. of the white-striped form, in
what looked like mint fresh plummage, a real handsome fella.  The
nesting Chickadees are safe as yet from returning House Wrens.
