Spoonbill in what has come to be its usual place off Madison Ave in DE.  Seen standing on the ground, near the pine tree - at 11:30AM & again at 1PM.  Snoozing & preening.  Nice looks.  Now, if only it would fly a few hundred yards south ...
 
Lunch at Catch 54 was decent.

I got a call from Tyler Bell at 3:05 pm this afternoon (6/26) saying that he and Jane were just leaving the area after finding the bird near the Catch 54 restaurant around 2:45 pm this afternoon. He said it looked pretty comfortable, sitting in DE. (Sorry the delay in posting this, the trip home from a client's location in Reston was about 3-1/4 hours this afternoon ... yuk!)

BTW, for MD Ospreyers, here's a link to a map that was posted by Tyler on DE-Birds the other day ...

The location is in Fenwick, DE about 1/2 mile west of Rt 1 and about 100-200 yards north of the MD/DE state boundary which runs along 146th Street, just south of Delaware Rt 54. Harpoon Hannah's is immediately north of the boundary.

Hope this helps ...
