At the west pond which is full: many Chimney Swifts, Tree & Barn swallows, several Bank & Cliff swallows
At the New Windsor wetland where the main pond is nearly dry:
Wood Duck 3
Mallard 3
Blue-winged Teal 1
Green-winged Teal 4
Great Blue Heron 1
Green Heron 2
At Little Pipe Creek Park in Union Bridge:
