I spent Sunday morning at Tuckahoe State Park in Caroline and Queen Anne's 
counties.  On the Caroline side (horse trail), 3 Purple Finches and 2 
Hermit Thrushes joined the numerous juncos, white-throats, and yellow-rumps.

The birds were very different on the Q.A. side.  Sparrows opposite the boat 
ramp parking lot included 1 Lincoln's and 1 juvenile White-crowned.  Many 
Rusty Blackbirds were in the swampy areas on either side of the parking 
lot.  My first sighting of the Rusty Blackbirds was 12 birds sitting in a 
tree, but many more were circulating.  I couldn't keep track of them, but 
wouldn't be surprised if there were at least 40-50 birds.
