A field trip from Patuxent MOS was treated to good views of about 4 Snow 
Buntings and ~50 Horned Larks in a flock passing back and forth across 
Rolling Bridge Rd nr Rt 304, a mile east of Centreville, the same area 
as posted y'day by Danny Poet. The birds could also be seen along the 
new residential road paralleling Rolling Bridge Rd. At the nearby Jr Hi 
School, 6 Am. Pipits were an added bonus. We noted that the Snow 
Buntings were in various stages of plumage. After a long search, no 
longspurs were found in the group.

At Kent Narrows, the following waterfowl were seen:

Mallard     10
Canvasback  ~150
Bufflehead >200
Lr Scaup  ~200
C Goldeneye 2 m
Ruddy Ducks >300
C Merg      1 m
H Merg(!)   1 m
Mute Swan   2
No loons, grebes, Redheads, or Oldsquaw

Chesapeake Env Ctr (aka Horsehead Sanctuary) was so frozen off-shore 
that no waterfowl were present there. Land birds incl a N. Harrier, sev. 
Hermit Thrushes, a Winter Wren, and a Rusty Blackbird, besides great 
numbers of Myrtle Warblers and White-throats.
