Speaking of birds (my Orioles baseball post the other day) our mild winter weather has been good for bird watching. As a member of the private FB page Notable Bird Sightings in Maryland, I have been following their discussions involving a first-ever sighting here in the County involving a Black Chinned Hummingbird (BCHU.)

When asked what he was doing in 2003 when it was announced that he had won the Oscar in 2003 he noted that he was home sleeping because his daughter Hailie had to be at school early the next morning (click here.)
