Hi all,

  Since the weather was nice, I decided to venture  and check out the Upper Marlboro Schoolhouse pond & later Chesapeake/North Beach.  Saw a roadside casuality: dead Cooper's Hawk on Rt. 4  Got nice views
of the 1st cyc. Glaucous Gull, and when I arrived, possibly the Thayer's was there.
I looked thru the scope for a few minutes, debating this to myself..... then a Bald Eagle flew over, scattered everything, and scooped up a dead carp at the back ot the pond.
Met fellow Ospreyer's Mikey L & Stan Arnold
