Later still 4 Common Terns flew upriver rather close to us. In between, at about 9 am, ottavio spotted a Tricolored Heron in flight at the mouth of Washington Channel, which reversed course and headed downriver. we saw every expected swallow except Purple Martin. later, rob hilton aimophila10@hotmail.com silver spring maryland (and a public library) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
