Hello All,
        If you read the Voice of the Naturalist posted yesterday, it noted that that the Roseate Spoonbill from Waynesboro, VA was last seen on the 19th.  The VA listserve has negative postings from the 20th, but I saw nothing further.  It also had a photo link http://www.birdsofvirginia.com/ImageLinks/RoseateSpoonbillVA1_Link.html  The VA bird looks quite pale so I wonder if it could be recognizable as the same bird or not.  I am off to chase it after work.

Good Birding,
Glen Lovelace III
Seaford, DE

Hi Everyone,

Mike Walsh just called to verify the presence of the ROSEATE SPOONBILL at the described location.  It is currently roosting with head tucked in near a Great Egret and some Canada Geese.  Mike mentioned that there may be some parking issues in this area, so if you go please take care.

Be sure to check the map that Tyler Bell provided in his post.  There is a sign for Catch 54 Restaurant on RT 54; follow this by going north onto Madison.

When the bird wakes up let's hope it decides to do some feeding in MD!

Have fun,

Ron Gutberlet

Hi Everyone,

This just in from Andy Ednie, passed on by Glen Lovelace:

"I just received a note that a Roseate Spoonbill was seen by the Catch 54 Restaurant off Rt 54 near Fenwick Island. I don't know the reporter or have any other details yet. If you go down that way would you please let me know if you find anything."

Have fun,

Ron Gutberlet
