Greetings Birders

Yesterday, during my lunch break, I walked to the Living Classrooms 
Foundation (802 S. Caroline Street) in the Inner Harbor.  The LCF courtyard 
had a dozen trees and a garden, with a high fence on one side.  There were 6 
SONG, 12 WHITE-THROATED, and 2 CHIPPING SPARROWS.  Then I saw a thrush!  It 
turned out to be a HERMIT THRUSH. Moving along the fence with no cover it was 
easy to ID.  A minute after leaving; I saw a female MERLIN fly to the 
courtyard and plunge in.
