Ben et all,

Odd, I thought I was only emailing only my friend Chris. Notice the
lack of the correct MDOSPREY signature, the attempt to attach
photos??? All bad OSPREY form. My apologies to all.

I'll post the Marsh Wren photos to my blog later today.  Despite this
bird's old timey typewriter call, it completely lacked the visual
characteristics of a Sedge.  No boldly streaked back.  Well, in fact,
after some serious cropping and zooming, well... it's a Marsh... just
without the bubblely song.

Birding is learning.

Good Birding,

Dan Haas
