Late yesterday afternoon as I was winding up my counting for the Triadelphia
Christmas count checking out a large Robin/Starling roost, I encountered a
small party of Black-caps. The characteristic lower throatier call caught
my attention. I did observe a white 'hockey stick' extending into the
scapulars on one bird, and they responded to my recording.
The robin song was also impressive.
Otherwise, I found Winter Wrens to be abundant, logging 14 for the day.
Just about any stop with dense wood, usually with a stream, produced 1-4.
The location was Columbia Park, on Old Columbia Rd. south of Burtonsville.
Ball fields, with a large wooded fringe, and a small cattail marsh at the
back end.
