     Hi Ospreyers:
     
     Last night after work my wife, Sharon and I took a walk around Lake 
     Kittamaqundi in Columbia, MD.  We found our first Palm Warbler of the 
     year along with four Caspian Terns.
     
     Night before last, we went to Rockburn Branch Park (eastern Howard 
     Co.) and found a Black & White Warbler, many Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers 
     and six loudly singing Brown Thrashers.
     
     This past Saturday we went to Skyline Drive.  It has finally reopened  
     after being closed since the January ice storm.  The devastation was 
     horrible.  Virtually no trees near the top of the mountains remained 
     unscathed.  They were either topped or blown over completely. Birds 
     seen were three Common Ravens, an Eastern Towhee and two Blue-headed 
     Vireos on the Limberlost Trail.
     
     Good birding to all.

     P.S.  Birding during lunch in DC?  Want company? Give me a call at 
     202/319-8461.
