The bird obligingly moved to pilings just off the gravel lot between the Sandgates and the Seabreeze restaurants giving wonderful views and great photos. Further south in St. Mary's Co. at Beauvue ponds, the ospreys are setting up housekeeping; 3 Northern Harriers hunting the fields; immature Bald Eagle; but, alas, no short-eared owls seen today. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
