A Common Raven, a bird identified by Bill Clark, was seen by lots of birders at Ft. Smallwood Park today. I think Hal said this would be a first for Anne Arundel County. A state bird for me. Also, over 300 Sharp-shinned hawks. 18 Cooper's Hawks, 2 Merlins. A great day. Darius Ecker (dariuse@abs.net) Columbia, Maryland
