While we were out at Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve this morning helping with the bird banding, Mary Alice found this little guy. Luckily I had the camera with...
Nice pic Glenn. Last year there was one on the hand railing of a boardwalk at the National Wildlife Visitor Center, in Laurel, MD. The boardwalk is made of...
Hey, neat picture! I don't think I've ever seen a frog in a tree yet! We did get to see a little toad last night in Great Falls shortly before the fireworks...
Thanks for passing along the e-mail from Dave Evans, it's always good to hear another side of the story. It does seem that newspapers only focus on the...
Quite possible. We have seen the baby raccoons a couple more times now, and it seems like we have one very small one that sticks close to the mother, and then...
Sad news over this weekend. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who founded Earth Day, died. I found a fairly good Washington Post article about it and am sending it...
Interesting. It could be many things - I would guess that it is biological since it is affecting only one species - so far. Perhaps viral or fungal but could...
Yes, the Prairie Dogs and the GLTs I'd be concerned about for sure. I think so many of the wild hawks we've seen there have likely been attracted to the zoo...
Quite entertaining. I’ve been reading through these updates, trying to catch up on email, while I watched a special on ‘Deep Throat’ with Tom Brokaw and...
This one is on a more positive note.. Female Panda Mei Xiang gave birth to a cub at 3:41 a.m. on July 9. Mother and cub seem to be doing fine. At a 9 a.m....
This is terrific news, I know we've all been on Panda Watch for a while now. From the latest report in the Post this morning, the cub seems to be doing well...
It is amazing. The new Panda exhibit is planned to have a time line for the Panda Breeding effort in the USA and China for the past thirty years or so. I...
One intrepid birder joined us this morning for the sauna that was the weekly Dyke Marsh Trip. We did manage Warbling Vireos both in the picnic area and along...
And always glad to do it - the zoo always has very good food, especially in the Mane Restaurant, if you can get in. : ) Also, one can donate to FONZ, the...
We found this moth this morning at work, the picture was taken with a cell phone so quality is not great but you can still get a pretty good look at it....
Hi Glenn, Compare it to this Imperial moth. Was it about 3" plus? http://www.ento.psu.edu/ImageGallery/Butterflies/Images/Imperial_Moth01.jpg --rudy maryland...
Rudy, Thanks, that what it is! Glenn ... From: wildlife-watchers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:wildlife-watchers@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Rudy Benavides Sent:...
I think you have a female there also. My Golden Guide Butterflies and Moths book says the female is much larger and yellower than the male. They show a ...
Latest announcement from Dr. Evans this morning: I am pleased to announce that John Berry, currently executive director of the National Fish and Wildlife...
Here's a picture of a Silver Spotted Skipper on our Zinnia today. I kept this one because in the top left, you can see a Sachem butterfly coming in to join...
All, Well, the National Zoo vets have finally had a chance to examine the baby panda, and it's a boy! :) The panda is said to be doing very well, and I am...
All, Last Tuesday when we were pulling out of Taco Bell, we spotted the first seagull of the year in the parking lot! It looked like a Ring-Billed Gull, and...
Interesting. Birds will often disperse after nesting season is over - but I am not certain what the early arrival means - perhaps we need to be preparing for...
There was a pretty good article several years ago in the Washington Post about the migration of the gulls between our area and the Great Lakes. I saved it and...
Please read the following alert about the new atrocities being planned for Delaware wildlife corridors, inland wetlands, farms and state forests. Please help...
This is an interesting post, although I have to admit that I do not know much about the "Blackbird Corridor". Perhaps someone else on the list has more...
