They told me they'd seen the same, or a similar bird, patrolling the day before. Laurie says she's seen Northern harriers in the area around the park a couple of times this winter, so it's possible our neighbors saw one of them on patrol, or this guy's hung out a couple of days because of the weather. -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech [[email protected]] -- http://www.plaidworks.com/chuqui/blog/ He doesn't have ulcers, but he's a carrier. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
