Jay Sheppard and I birded Annapolis Junction Business Park on Friday the 13th with temps in the mid-to-high 80s. Observed an adult Grasshopper Sparrow with a grasshopper in its mouth and a juvenile Grasshopper Sparrow hoping to get some of that grasshopper. Speaking of grasshoppers, they also happen to be a favorite food of the American Kestral, of which there were 3.
