What is the diving bird in Md we saw on the bay with an orange stripe around its beak.?

I'm guessing it was a tern. They may appear to have an orange ring because the base of the bill is orange and the end of the bill is black. They do dive.\n\nDid it look anything like this?\nhttp://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i0700id.html

I believe your are referring to the black billed magpies. They have a black head and breast and a white belly and shoulder. Their wings are actually tinted with blue green but if you are not looking for the color you may not see it.

Don't know about the reddish shoulders, but it could be an Abyssinian ground-hornbill - they're pretty big birds.

A wonderful bird is the pelican,\nIts beak can hold more than its belly can.\n\n:)

Sounds like the hooded finch.

I can't be certain, but I would hazard a guess that it might be an otter.\n\nOtters often swim with their legs tucked up against their body, making them appear to be almost serpent-like as they twist and roll through the water.

A bird, from ancient mthology. It's also a constellation in the southern hemisphere.

Yep.  I knew.  I actually JUST found out today.  A very nice little birdie told me.  :o)  Must be why Boston and Baltimore are such good "buddies"

I can't really find one. However call this number: 872-2256. They are the California Living Museum (refferals for emergency wildlife medical assistance) 10500 Alfred Harrel Highway, Bakersfield CA 93306 ask them. Or better yet there is one called Facility for Animal Care and Treatment. It is at California State Universtity Bakersfield CA number: 664-3167 adress: 9001 Stockdale Highway Bakersfield CA 93311. They provide field trips, classroom presentations, enviormental education activity kits and materias with a focus on birds of prey and endangered species. The group tried to rescue and rehabilitate injured or orphaned birds: also a community resource for any wildlife in trouble. I'd call either of them and explain your situation and hope that they can help you. One other thing, go back to where you found the bird. See if the mother is nearby. Sometimes the mother leaves to get food and the baby falls out of the nest.

It's called Blazon Gap. It's a natural feature. The ridge is Oyster Ridge.

I think it is fair to say the jury is out.  While there have been for years unsubstantiated reports that a bird has been sighted here and there, last year there was film, and a substantial scientific claim that an ivory billed had been recorded vocally and in flight.  This received a lot of publicity.\n\nHowver, other scientists believe that what was recorded was not an ivory billed, but another woodpecker (with white on the top of the wing instead of the bottom).  The best course is to believe one side or the other, but hold open the possibility that the other side is right.
