The MOS conference this July happens to be in Salisbury. It would be the perfect opportunity for MOS to present either a framed photo or a plaque. Interesting coincidence that the MOS conference was in Solomons following the winter of Shrimpy.

The lady in the gray house (her name is Carol Grant) yesterday was trying to
get a picture of the Tropical Kingbird with a digital camera she had gotten
for Christmas.  I don't think she was very successful. 

Since she was so interested in getting a picture of the bird, I asked her
for her Internet address (), and told her that maybe
one of us could send her a photo.

I know that some of you have some great photos and hope that one of you
could email her a photo.  With a little bit of editing it, it could have a
title, date, etc.

Bill Hubick, who was there, was thinking that MOS should somehow show its
appreciation of her hospitality.    Perhaps a framed photo of the bird from
MOS?

Just some thoughts.

Regards,
-Joe

When we were at the Tropical Kingbird site yesterday, standing 50 yards or
so south of, and acrosss the street from, the gray house, the woman who
lives there came out, waved to us, and invited us to come closer if we
wanted.  She then came across the street and looked at the bird in our
telescope, remarking that it was beautiful.  We showed her the range map in
a field guide, told her she is a good hostess, and asked if any actions by
visiting birders had bothered her.  She replied "Not at all", that she was
happy to have people come, and happy also that the bird was using her yard.
A further friendly chat between Marion and the lady assured us that she does
indeed enjoy and welcome birders.  We did not talk with other local owners,
but people driving up and down the street waved in friendly manners.

It appears that so far all is well.  I am sure we all hope it remains that
way.
