Subject: [MDBirding] C&O Canal Winter Count - Miles 22, 23, 24


Okay, I'll admit we're spoiled -- our stretch of the towpath includes
Violette's Lock, Riley's Lock (Seneca), and a known breeding area for
Red-headed Woodpeckers. This year's Canal Count didn't disappoint. We
saw a total of 42 species in the three miles, including all seven
woodpeckers. Other highlights included Redhead, Eastern Phoebe (a pair),
Hermit Thrush, and a delightful Winter Wren singing loudly and
melodiously. Brown Creepers and Golden-crowned Kinglets were everywhere.
Oddly, we tallied only a single Canada Goose.

Participants: Janet Millenson, Brad Beukema, Chris Wright
