Hi fellow birders,

Went to check my Atlas block which includes Spice Creek WMA and Nottingha=
m NRMA this A.M. (3/11). Not a soul at either place!! Most of the common =
resident and wintering birds were noted. Lots of bluebirds in the fields/=
open areas, numerous song sparrows singing, 4 towhees were heard (dweeb!)=
 at Nottingham and a harrier was observed hunting over the river marshes;=
 only ducks seen were mallards and Am black ducks. Also hundreds of RW Bl=
ackbirds were traveling through the marsh grass. =20

Stopped at Spice Creek (at Rte. 382) and spotted another soaring bald eag=
le (adult this time)...in Feb. I had seen a 1-2 yr old eagle w/heavy mott=
ling on underside. Lots of mallards (~150) took off when I stopped at the=
 bridge; a red-tailed hawk soared in the distance. A beautiful crisp, cal=
m morning in Maryland.

Bon Birding!!
