Marcy Stutzman and I spent about 3 hours this AM birding at the
lake at the S end of Halethorpe Farms Road. We saw or heard
about 50 species, including:
Black-crowned Night-Heron (immature)
Osprey
Least Tern
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
Swallows - Northern Rough-winged, Barn
Warblers - Northern Parula, Yellow, Prothonotary, Louisiana
Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat, Hooded, Yellow-breasted Chat
Blue Grosbeak
Orchard Oriole (adult male, & female or immature)
We slogged along the muddy trails on the S side of the lake.
That added a lot of species, but I do not recommend it until we
get a week of dry weather.
