Hi   all . A quick check     4 :30  pm to  5:30  pm  of Wye Island
  yesterday   4 -  19 - 04   .  Just Before going around the real sharp
bend before the bridge in a field of cattle  produced my  first 04 Cattle
Egret.   The  Red Headed woodpecker  still presant  at Grannery Creek .
Starlings have taken the tree hole  were  I saw the Redhead at my last vist.
The ranger stopped   to me and we had a brief  catch up chat and that others
have seen  2 Red Headed  woodpeckers else where on the Island  and even
again  elsewhere  2 coming to a bird feeder on privite  land on the island
so that makes   at least 4  Red Heads there. however all  I have seen is
one.    While at the bridge   an immature  Bald  Eagle  haressed An Osprey
out of its recently caught fish dinner the osprey dropped the fish And
neither bird had  a fish then.   Speaking of Osprey   The new osprey Nest  I
mentioned on my last Wye island post   that looked like it would  Fall from
its  place on the electric  pole  did  fall the pair was trying to rebuild
yesterday. They would  carry  corn stalks and weeds that fell again. Not a
stable place. There is a near by  Duck blind  That would be more stable  But
not near as high from the ground. Other Birds presant Pair of Green Winged
Teal .  several Doulble Creasted  Cormorant, BlueJays , Cardinals, white
Throated Sparrows, pair of Mute Swan,  Mockers,  Robins ,  heard Carolina
Wren,  Also Canada Geese residents   .

                                                  Happy   Birding
