dropped Gary off then to do some work and then Paul and I went to Bucksport
for some birding and butterflying there for an hour +. We got our target bird.

last week if he knew of a recipe for Cowbird.  He said he doen't have it
completed but it will start "first you make a roux ..."

Excellent birding, excellent company.

I was able to capture a still photo of the tanager and kite. If you would
like me to send it to you as an e-mail atachment.  Reply
