It is a lovely, quiet solitary place. Heard Prairie, Parula & saw a Hooded Warbler. As I approached the river........Whoa, some humanus vulgarus was making sounds like a Loon. 'Twas coming from the flooded Patapsco river (very go= od mud flats in the fall. ) Must be a fisherman or another birder but no, it really was a Loon. I saw him/her dipping, preening & calling. A lovely moment.
