Tim:
I was at Swallow Falls on Monday and had Blackburnian and Magnolia
Warblers, Golden-crowned Kinglets and Red-breasted Nuthatches. At nearby
Herrington Manor State Park I saw Pine Siskins, Golden-crowned Kinglets
and several species of warblers. Along Cranesville Road just west of
Swallow Falls, Canada Warblers, Hooded Warblers, Northern Waterthrushes
and Veeries, among others, were singing in the mountain laurel and
rhododendron thickets along the road. Also, try the road south of
Herrington Manor on the way to the town of Oakland (I forget the road's
name). You will come to a large farm with white rail fences along the
road. There were many singing bobolinks in the fields and singing
Savannah Sparrows as well.
Mondaay was my first trip to Garrett County, and from what I saw, there
is an abundance of good habitat. It is possible to see lots of bird just
by driving the roads and listening for there songs with your windows
rolled down.
