Hi all,


   Stop by at Gwynns Falls Park yesterday evening to
see the herons at nest. The view is not too bad but
the scope is require to see its throught the branches.
The trail upstream from Windsor Mill Rd is chock full
of birds especially warblers. After a cold front
earlier today, it helps to see them hang around and
very low almost to eye view.   The trail downstream
below Windsor Mill Rd had mostly thrushes, ovenbird,
and waterthrush.
