Nancy and I spent the weekend in western Maryland birding, hiking, and relaxing. In addition to the species listed below, we also spotted three groups of Maryland birders, including a Carroll and Howard County group led by Bob Ringler, who will no doubt report many species in addition to the 83 listed below.
