Wow, what a day in Montgomery and Frederick Counties!  Congrats to all of you on all the good birds yesterday.

We had a much more humdrum day--a nice feeder list then about five miles of the ORV Zone.  We cut it short 'cause the little red wagon appeared to be having a problem and we did not want to get stranded down the beach.  Turned out to be nothing more than some beach junk wedged around the rear wheels--so we'll likely head down there again today.  We did manage to get all of our Christmas shopping taken care of though!
