We are thinking of setting up a "Send Barry and Gail Away" fund which will
undoubtedly result in a lot of good birds added to (other) Maryland/DC
birders' lists. Details to follow.
_____________________________________________________________
I have a better idea. Barry and Gail set up a fund to take all of us
with them next time. All sign up now.
And just so this will pass as a birding post, I had a Merlin do a fly by
while I was walking around the lake earlier this week. Very rare here as I
am not any real regular raptor migration route. The only thing I normally
get are a few Ospreys in the spring and occasionally one or two in the fall.
They always check out the lake on their way thru.
There was also a scruffy-looking Pintail on the lake. Early for anything
like that. It was with some Canadas.
