Hi all,

  Did some late morning birding to see locals and migrants.  Robins, Cardinals, House Sparrows, House Finches Starlings are nesting around the neighborhood. Brown headed Cowbirds are expertly watching for a foster nest.  A Baltimore Oriole is claiming a spot at the end of the block.  A Blackpoll Warbler was up in the oaks singing it's rendition (I like to think so) of the movie Friday the 13th theme: "Sh-sh-shshshsh.."

Couldn't help but roll with laughter at Bill Hubick's post on the Choptank inebriated boaters.
Best list-serve ever!
