We walked the Hike and Bike Trail for eight miles from Freeland to White Hall, and then did some additional birding by car. Altogether we saw 72 species, although one, the Empidonax Flycatcher (Willow?), was not positively identified to species. The list includes my first for the year Bobolinks in an alfalfa field. Also seen in the same area was an American Kestral, a species that has not been seen by me in Maryland for several months. The complete list is as follows: Green Heron Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Ring-billed Gull Rock Dove Mourning Dove Yellow-billed Cuckoo Chimney Swift Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Eastern Wood-Pewee Acadian Flycatcher Empidonax Flycatcher (sp) Eastern Phoebe Great Crested Flycatcher Eastern Kingbird White-eyed Vireo Yellow-throated Vireo Warbling Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Barn Swallow Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse White-breasted Nuthatch Carolina Wren House Wren Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Eastern Bluebird Swainson's Thrush Wood Thrush American Robin Gray Catbird Northern Mockingbird European Starling Blue-winged Warbler Northern Parula Yellow Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Prairie Warbler Black-and-white Warbler American Redstart Worm-eating Warbler Ovenbird Louisiana Waterthrush Kentucky Warbler Common Yellowthroat Scarlet Tanager Eastern Towhee Chipping Sparrow Field Sparrow Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Northern Cardinal Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Bobolink Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Baltimore Oriole House Finch American Goldfinch House Sparrow Elliot Kirschbaum Baltimore, MD USA mailto:ekirschb@bcpl.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
