Hi Folks,
	We noted many RBGBs in every wooded section of the Lemon Fair valley
in Weybridge, including 2 pair in our own yard.  Notable and unusual
abundance here as well.  Half way up Snake Mountain a pair were building a
nest.          Barbara Brosnan

We also saw our FOY Indigo Buntings, a northbound subadult bald eagle and
quite a bit of accipiter activity. A small patch of morels at the end of the
walk was icing on the cake. Oh, and is it me or are Rose Breasted Grosbeak
in notable abundance this Spring so far?
