Spent the day looking for Hairy Bittercress....found some birds in search. I started at Centennial which had the same basic mix of waterfowl as yesterday. Near to a dozen Lesser Scaup still there. I had the Barred Owls calling...they have been calling every time I have gone during the last couple weeks. The lake is still down and there are extensive mudflats at the wildlife end.
Went to Middle Patuxent next and had Red-Breasted Nuthatch and Brown Creeper. Barred Owls calling there also.
Ended at Meadowbrook and had an Eastern Phoebe by the lower pond. Also found a Great Blue Heron that had passed away....some close up pictures ...
