All

Friends of mine who were doing bee surveys in Columbia came back today and 
showed me pictures of 2 yellow - crowns that they spotted while waiting 
for someone to return to the vehicle.

The birds were in a large tree on Sharp Antler which is a block long tiny 
street off of Rustling Leaf (There is no "Road" at the ends of these 
names, just to irritate the Proletariat).


The Tree's Lat Long is 

39.182674
-76.83458

They did not spot a nest, but then again they are bee people who simply 
showed me an interesting picture of a "bird" so what can you expect.    It 
seems likely that one would be around..

The birds were quite tame.
