There were many of the usuals. I didn't have much time to bird for more than an hour yesterday afternoon and one hour this moring. The ususal suspects were present. I especially enjoyed seeing the Cliff Swallows hanging out on the wires under the bridge (viewed from the sidewalk on the bridge -- technically in MD). I counted 10 this morning. Seems like they will be pretty reliable if anyone wants to visit the delightful birdies. Of course there are also tree, barn and no. rough wings all about as well.
