["Harry & Melitta Glasgow" <aglasgow@xxxxxxx>]

This morning's Monday Morning walk at Huntley Meadows found 17 birders 
searching for early spring arrivals.  Highlights were a pair of Blue Wing Teals 
in the grassy areas on the far side of the central wetland, an osprey carrying 
nesting material, a solitary sandpiper, a baker's dozen Wilson's Snipe, and 
one, lone American Coot who perhaps grew weary of the crowds on the Potomac.
