Where from Glen Falls Road or from the railroad bridge west of the road? Sora is in safe dates for the atlas and Spotted Sand soon will be. Unfortunately, three quads come together in this area and we need to be as accurate as possible about the locations. Cliff Swallows nest at both nearby bridges in the Finksburg area, and they are in different quads, neither of which is the Finksburg Quad! By the way, as long as you are coming up to Carroll County how would you like to have a block of your own to atlas? We have plenty of uncovered blocks.
