Hi all Just some quick highlights  from  my part  of the Queen Annes Co  May
  count .  85 species   6:00 AM   thru  9:00 pm  Seen .Two    male  Scarlet
Tanager   singing across the field  from each other  Reeds creek area     .
   Male and female  Summer  Tanager seen  were not singing .  Female
Orchard  oriole    carrying  nesting material  ,    female  Red Winged
blackbird doing same .   A pair of  lLeast Terns at Reeds creek  male with a
minnow landed on a pier next to female  dangling this fish  soon they mated
fish still in males bill  then flew off together. Question do  Least Terns
mate away from nesting area or do i need to look for a new nesting place?
White Crowned sparrow 1 . At Reeds Creek at abuot 8:30 pm heard 2  Chuck
wills widow calling  when  i got hope at 9:00 pm  shut the  door a Barred
Owl   called my only owl    and last  bird of the day.  On Sun Am  did some
atlasing in my home block   Blue Jay   feeding recently  fledged young .
3     Redtails   Flying high in a circle  one looked to be an immature
wing  feathers looked rough   and could not see any  red on the tail  . Any
thoughts on  them also.

                 Happy   birding       Danny Poet Queenstown    Md
