The Post needs some avian education.

Back in Dec, I was in Chicago & picked up a copy of  Great Lakes 
Bulletin  (published by the Naval presence on the Great Lakes) at my 
hotel.  A photo article on Lake Michigan wild life identified a Least 
Tern as a Common Tern, a Great Egret as a Snowy Egret and a Rail as a 
Sandpiper (looked like a Clapper to me, but I don't have a lot of 
experience with rails and Sibley's map says Clappers aren't up there).

On the Maryland side, we had a great weekend for Red-shouldered Hawks in 
the north central Balt Co area.  We had three different locations with 
RS Hawks defending territory and three other locations with single RS 
Hawks calling.  We also had crows in two different Atlas blocks carrying 
nesting materials, a winter wren and a creeper.
