The past week garnered some new arrivals. In my Ellicott city yard, a
CHIPPING SPARROW ensconced himself on the platform feeder- chowing down
on millet.
        The tree ID walk at David Force was very well attended and we all
learned tricks and tips on how to tell those trees apart-even down to
tasting some! We did get serenaded by a FOX SPARROW. BROWN CREEPER was
another goodie. A GOLDEN-CROWN KINGLET was haging out with a chickadee
flock- that included our little white tailed guy.
        At Centennial this morning a TREE SWALLOW was first for the county. A
dozen YELLOW-RUMPS showed a slight increase. A GREAT-BLACK BACK GULL
flyover was unusual for the park. A couple SWAMP SPARROWS were probably
new arrivals.

        p.s. Heard Mike McClure had a GREAT EGRET out in western Howard county.
