I think we can say goodbye to the sparrows. Construction to begin 2002. That's what I've read in the HowCo Edition of BALTO SUN. Sunday a.m. was very slow, only 3 white-crowns, a few more white-throats, quite a few songs. Didn't see any tree, fox, or savannah. goldfinch were in evidence. An easy half a dozen carolina wrens, and large numbers ( hundreds) of red-wing blackbirds. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonnie Ott" To: Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 10:10 PM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Meadowbrook Park, Howard Co, 1-28-01 > Joel Martin wrote: > I wonder what "improvements" they have in mind for this place. > > > Alas, meadowbrook is going to be turned into a park with numerous ball > fields, and other "improvmemnts".
