Nancy and I took a two hour walk yesterday morning along the C&O Canal in
Washington County. We heard our first of the year singing Yellow-throated
Warblers (2) and a singing Ruby-crowned Kinglet, but were surprised by the
apparent absence of gnatcatchers.
The complete species list is a follows:
Double-crested Cormorant
Canada Goose
Wood Duck
Mallard
Belted Kingfisher
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Tree Swallow
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Yellow-throated Warbler
Louisiana Waterthrush
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Northern Cardinal
American Goldfinch
We also had two new yard birds in a state which must not be named ;)
(although it is in an MD Atlas block and see signature block for a hint):
Field Sparrow and Brown-headed Cowbird.
