Hi All,

The last couple of evenings there has been one Short-eared Owl hunting 
at dusk at the end of Cornfield Drive near Point Lookout State Park. 
 Last night (3-18-05) Anne Bishop and I heard a Great Horned Owl and a 
Clapper Rail and saw Wilson's Snipe on the same road.  The night before, 
my husband and I saw a few new year birds on a nearby road before 
spotting the owl and heard American Woodcock later near the entrance to 
Point Lookout State Park.  The new year birds were:  Both yellowlegs and 
a Great Egret plus the woodcock.

Good Birding,
Patty Craig
