Folks

Having breakfast on the deck this morning produced my first Osprey for the Waldorf yard year list.  A male flew over around 10 AM.  

I also got fooled again by a singing bird.  I made the assumption that trill, slow and flat was a Pine Warbler.  The song was coming from a Pine Tree.  In about five minutes I found the Chipping Sparrow doing a very slow song for that species.  The lesson - be careful with your birding by sound identifications unless you are doing a fund raising birdathon.

One other species of note were five Ring-billed Gulls.

Living and hopefully learning,
