I can't say I've seen this before but perhaps it's normal? When I say lots, I'm talking about hundreds, perhaps thousands. Has anyone taken notice? For the record I'm talking about the White Marsh, MD area.

Hi - I'm up the road from you in Edgewood. I'm fascinated by that; they generally fly right over my house morning and evening so I get to watch them whenever I'm home. I'm new to birding and was told one of the places they forage for food by day in the farmfields of northern Harford County. Then they fly southeastward to roost for the night. It's very neat to be at Mariner Point Park in Joppatowne when they fly in and stopover for several minutes. That's not their final spot though. Looks like they are heading into the Days Cove area, or Gunpowder SP or APG. That's all I can figure out; I'm sure others more knowledgeable know.
