Hi all,
Did some birding in early Sat afternoon after a
rain all morning. High wind today prevent any birding.
Did anyone see me in my 18th century uniform carry a
scope and notepad in my hand instead of musketloader
guarding the fort entrance at Fort Frederick? I heard
that Jim Stasz and Ed Boyd was there on Sat and Sun.
