Hello all.

Today, I decided to bird the new Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Park, located 
about one half of a mile from Ft. Smallwood Park. It is a great piece of 
land and has some habitat that is quite impressive when one considers that 
it's in a developed area. E-mail me off list for more info if you're 
interested. 

Highlights:

Weinberg Park: 

RED-HEADED WOODPECKER: 1 Juvenile. Foraging and calling often. I was 
looking out over the Patapsco river when I heard its call...thinking my 
ears were decieving me, I turned and he/she was about 20 feet up an old 
snag. Great bird to see. 

L. Scaup: c. 100 Raft close to shore
Canvasback: c. 250 
LONG-TAILED DUCK: 1 male. Actively foraging about 100 feet out and solitary.
Ruddy Duck: 4
GBB Gull: 3
B. Creeper: 1
WB Nuthatch: 2
YB Sapsucker: 1
E. Towhee: 14 Total
WT Sparrow: 28 Total
WC SPARROW: 1  In some pretty extensive brush, nice look.

Other Locations:

Venice on the Bay: (Facing the Chesapeake, water was very calm)

C. Loon: 1
TV: 1
GBB Gull: 10


Best to all,
