Hi --
Maryland DNR has recently stocked Pine Lake with some fat trout (we
saw a few fishermen pulling them in) so it seems as if the Loon has
found "easy pickings" for his migratory stop-over. I can imagine those
hatchery trout don't know enough to avoid either Loon or Osprey! (or
cheese balls, for that matter -- which seem to be the prefrerd bait being
used).

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Parula Warbler, Osprey @ Pine Lake, Wheaton
Reg. Park
Hi all,
After I saw Gail & Barry's posting I decided to head up to Pine Lake at
Wheaton Regional Park to view the Common Loon in the scope-
Magnificent! I was having such a fun time watching the loon, I spent the
afternoon there. It was interesting to study the loon and the way it
submerged. When people and children were around the lake, I noticed
the loon seemed to dive more, and move to the farest corner.
Over head, an Osprey came into view. Later a flock of Golden-crowned
Kinglets with a few Ruby crowned were overhead, and then a brighter bird:
NORTHERN PARULA ( female) my earliest yet. It moved with the kinglets
and I lost track of it. The lovely Palm Warblers were present, and the
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were flitting for insects. A female Hooded
Merganser seems like she might nest in the area.
