I tried for the Blue Grosbeak at the Aztec Mini-Market as suggested
recently by Joel Martin. I didn't have luck there but I traveled
further south down Swain Road and found one singing near the
intersection of Stotlemeyer and Harry Norris Road (along Harry Norris
Road). I also explored the TNC Sideling Hill preserve which is right
near there (straight where Harry Norris ends). That is a pretty spot.
I also had some confusing Chickadees at the Woodmont NRMA about 3.5
miles south of civilization on Woodmont Road.
