HI Everyone. I had a great afternoon walking thru the roads at Fair Hill and then trudging thru the Marsh on Old Field Point Road. Well, There are fields of Bobolinks up here. Great numbers. Almost every field I walk by has a minimum of 4 to 10 pairs. I have some nice pictures if anyone is interested. Also, lots of Orchard and Baltimore Orioles, Yellow Warblers, Meadow Larks and a few new things passing thru. I had a Blackpoll calling in 2 different spots.

Elkton Marsh off of Old Field Point Road. The tide was low and out going. The mosquito's were all out in force. I had 14 Glossy Ibis fly by, 1 Greater Yellow Legs,  1 Hooded Merganser (female), and at 7:45 my first Marsh Wren called. He wasn't very vocal. Only called a couple more times.
