| 1/9/2010 Conowingo Dam, MD A quick trip snagged us a Winter Wren and a Common Merganser flock in flight. Also a Song Sparrow and a Bald Eagle were out in the frigid temperatures. |

| Yes, more from our 12/30/09 -1/2/10 trip to FL: We discover a Red-shouldered Hawk comes in all shapes and colors - interesting! Also: Wood Stork , Short-tailed Hawk (light) , White Ibis , and Tri-colored Heron. |

| 1/10/10 Conowingo, MD again - we tried for a better Winter Wren shot. Got off a couple of shots and he vanished. But a Brown Creeper was making the rounds. Bald Eagles were about as well as a Hermit Thrush and a Golden Crowned Kinglet who found a frozen spider. He tried to hide behind a stick and make short work of it, but the spider was obviously frozen stiff! Also, female Common Mergansers in flight. |

| More from Fl trip 12/31/09-1/2/10 (Click next pages for S. Florida rarities etc...) A Double-crested Cormorant caught a catfish and had to be quick to keep his breakfast. Also, an American Bittern was sighted but wouldn't come out to play. |

| More from Fl trip 12/31/09-1/2/10 Wood Stork , Pied-billed Grebe , Black-crowned Night-Heron , Great Blue Heron , Black Vulture , TV kettle, a Common Moorhen taking a bath, Anhinga, (m+f) busy making a nest already. |

| More from Fl trip 12/31/09-1/2/10 (A very cool trip. Click next pages for S. Florida rarities etc...) Our smaller camera seemed to be a bit "color happy" - we tried to tone it down as it did capture the Sora feeding on tiny worms (one of three Sora we saw) and a beautiful Blue-winged Teal contrasted in green algae. |
