Hello All,
I got out last night to do a couple hours of night atlasing on my Rhodesdale NE, Rhodesdale CE and Sharptown CW atlas blocks. First stop was Wesley Rd (south of MD 392) where there was at least a Chuck or a Whip at every stop I made with a total of 4-5 Chucks and 3 Whips (one on which was on Rhodesdale NW). But oddly all of their calling was done between 9 and 9:30 PM, after that I met with silence. Additional birds were a calling Barred Owl on Puckum Rd about a 1/2 mile south of the stream and a calling Screech Owl on Jones Thicket Rd approx 1.5 miles west of the Indiantown Rd pig farm. Also a GB Heron fishing at the Sharptown boat ramp at 10:30 PM. No nocturnal House Sparrows.
Good Birding,
