At 10:45 this morning, over the Paint Branch, just south of Paint Branch
Parkway, a low-flying kettle consisting of four Osprey and one immature Bald
Eagle made a brief appearance.   I lost sight of them, but a short time
later, as I got to the bank of the stream, I found two Osprey perched, with
another calling nearby.  In fairly short order, three Osprey were in flight,
with the Bald Eagle.  I then walked down to just below River Road, where I
saw two Osprey, one with a fish, another annoying an immature Red-tailed
Hawk.  I cannot say for certain if the Ospreys were part of the four seen
earlier, but presume so.

Otherwise, usual suspects.  I did hear a Pileated Woodpecker.  Three or four
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, one Brown Thrasher, two "Myrtle" Warblers.  The
White-throated Sparrows were much in evidence.  In the park below River Road
two Chipping Sparrows were present.  I also heard two Field Sparrows singing
between River Road and Paint Branch Parkway.
