Good morning birders,

 

Chris Ordiway, my son ask me to post this for him.  As Chris was tending the
cows at Hard Bargain Farm at 11:11am he heard two birds calling (cruck and
tok) as a turkey vulture flew past them.  The two COMMON RAVENS were flying
south to north over the lower fields of Hard Bargain and Piscataway Park in
Prince Georges county Maryland.  Chris was so excited he could hardly stay
composed long enough to ask me to post for him.  He got good looks and heard
them clearly too.  He tried to get a picture of the three birds in one shot
but won't know until he returns home later if he got them.  The COMMON
RAVENS were headed towards Ft Washington Marina and D.C.

 

My excitement for the morning here in Callaway (St Mary's county) has been
the plow going down our dead end road, a sharp shinned hawk flying over my
head as it tried to catch a common grackle for breakfast and photographing
the snow in my yard.  

 

Happy Birding to all,

Patricia Viola Rose
