I spent an hour in the Liberty Watershed of Carroll County this morning before the rains came. In the area near the Deer Park Road/Nicodemus Road Bridge I saw a Gadwall and about 50 Common Mergansers on the lake. Nearby in the woods and powerline cut were 11 Carolina Chickadees, 3 Red-breasted Nuthatches, 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet, 2 Hermit Thrushes, and a Catbird, the latter rare here in winter. Sparrows were 1 Field, 2 Song, and 5 White-throat.
