We enjoyed relatively close viewing of Song Sparrows, Fox Sparrows (4), Savannah Sparrows (2), and White-throated Sparrows (7). The raptors were represented by male Kestrel and a pair of Red-tailed Hawks. Art Rodger saw a flyover Eastern Meadowlark (yes!). An Eastern Phoebe hunted in the field East of the entrance driveway. We had a very nice walk on what some would call a less-than-perfect day. Thanks to birders who braved the rain. 1 Black Vulture 5 Turkey Vulture 9 Canada Goose 3 Mallard 2 Common Merganser 3 Red-tailed Hawk 1 American Kestrel 90 Ring-billed Gull 5 Rock Pigeon 14 Mourning Dove 2 Belted Kingfisher 2 Red-bellied Woodpecker 2 Downy Woodpecker 8 Northern Flicker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 1 Eastern Phoebe 14 Blue Jay 8 American Crow 7 Carolina Chickadee 2 Tufted Titmouse 2 White-breasted Nuthatch 5 Carolina Wren 4 Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 12 Eastern Bluebird 50 American Robin 7 Northern Mockingbird 45 European Starling 2 Cedar Waxwing 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 4 Eastern Towhee 1 Field Sparrow 2 Savannah Sparrow 4 Fox Sparrow 23 Song Sparrow 7 White-throated Sparrow 24 Dark-eyed Junco 10 Northern Cardinal 300 Red-winged Blackbird 1 Eastern Meadowlark 140 Common Grackle 36 Brown-headed Cowbird 2 House Finch 1 American Goldfinch 14 House Sparrow Keith Eric Costley oriolekec1@comcast.net Randallstown, Baltimore County, MD ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
