Hi

I sent the info to Ms. Ringler earlier today.  I would have replied to you earlier, but I had to rush my very ill little conure to the animal hospital in Vienna.

The big brown job flew over Conn. ave just south of the firehouse at somewhere around 10:20 am yesterday.  It was flying directly east at approx. 100 to 150 feet.  Coloration was completely drab, hence my assumption is that it was a immature.  My impression may, however, have been severly tainted by seeing too many photos of western browns in breeding plumage.  They are far more colorfull than their eastern cousins.
