Hello all. 

I spent about 3 hours early this morning doing another survey of Weinberg 
Park in Pasadena (Northern Anne Arundel County). The Red-headed WP is still 
present and I had excellent numbers of Towhees and other species. There are 
also two smaller sections of park property I checked out, not much there, 
but the habitat is perfect for Sparrows, etc.  I ran into Adam Smith and a 
co-worker of his while there, and Adam, I'm sorry to say that you missed 
the RHWO by 5 minutes!

Also, a word of warning: there is often waterfowl hunting VERY close to the 
park's overlook, so keep your eyes and ears open if you go there.

DC Cormorant: 8  Seen from the overlook on White Rocks
