Spent the morning at Swan Harbor Farm in Harford County. It tok me a good
two hours to sort through the sparrows and other "field" passerines that
were busy foraging all over the newer impoundment area on the south side of
the entrance road. I also had a small group of warblers and vireos move
through the tree line in the back. The old impoundment was a bust -dry and
greatly overgrown.
My list from ebird follows...
Peace, love, and light (and birds)...
