Another = highlight was a stunning, close, eye-level look at an adult = Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (They breed here). The activity picked up = with increased sunlight as we made a second pass on the first quarter of = the loop. Veeries were quite vocal today, probably departing residents. = Catbirds and Red-eyed Vireos seem to be declining a lot. I also had another blob of 23 Nighthawks over my house in Randallstown = this evening around 6 PM. Here is a trip-list compiled Elliot Kirschbaum. Thank you.
