A Western Grebe is always exciting in Maryland!

We spent an hour at Point Lookout State Park - fro 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
today. The air temperature was a pleasent 62 degrees. We looked
for land birds in the wooded areas around the picnic ground but they
were scarce (a few chickadees) to absent. A large flock of Yellow
Rump Warblers was in the pines and persimmon trees west of the
fishing pier parking lot. Off the fishing pier we saw many small,
mixed, and frequently moving, flocks of Old Squaw, White-winged
Scoter, Black Scoter and Surf Scoter. Small groups of Bufflehead
were seen from nearer the shore out to the deeper water. One Common
Loon and a Western Grebe were present. A few Herring Gulls were on
the pilings near the radar station. Not exciting, but it was nice
to be out for a bit.
