We found a total of forty-nine species in eleven hours. We missed six "they-were-here-yesterday" species: (Wood Duck, and Myrtle Warbler at Granite) (the Fox Sparrow, and Red-winged Blackbird at Owings Mills Wetland) (Eastern Towhee, and Chipping Sparrow at Soldier's Delight). Also missing: Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Common Grackle, and Brown-headed Cowbird. It was a great day!
