Here is a link to an article / news story from CNN.

And, while I was singing and playing guitar on a big boat this
afternoon in Annapolis, I got a real nice bird's eye view of Osprey
parents watching over two chicks on a marker out by the mouth of the
Severn River.  The boat was nice and tall, which made viewing a treat.
 And then I sang the Beatles tune, Blackbird for the guests on the
boat (which I believe was written about a Robin?).  I digress...

Good birding all,
