Hi all --

We had the MD/MOS field trip to Lilypons and environs today -- had about 55
species, but we undoubtedly missed a few things in the early morning (thick!)
fog. Most interesting were decent numbers of both American Tree and White-
Crowned Sparrows at Lilypons, a single Fox Sparrow, great views of three
Purple Finches feeding on berries, Greater Yellowlegs and Hooded Merg in
the ponds near the bridge, two Snow Buntings with the Horned Larks along Oland
Rd. (in corn stubble), and a nice Harrier quartering the fields.

We didn't make it down to Lower Monocacy Bottom Road, as one has to walk in
through Lilypons and the fog made us slower than usual, so not sure if any
Rusty Blackbirds are lingering there.
