Hi all,

  Birded yesterday morning along Rock Creek seeing winter residents, and
spring migrants.
Pine Siskins are still in and around our neighborhood.
Big surprise was seeing 2 River Otters playing in the creek.  They might be
the pair from Tuckerman Lane Pond.
Hawks and Accipiters absence noted.
