Here's my attempt at the Prince George's mid-winter bird count on our property at Clagett Landing Road in Upper Marlboro.  I birded from 8:06 to 11:40.  This is about 125 acres of fields, pastures, woods, underbrush, swamp, and river.  I walked a perimeter and cut through the middle.  Looks like about 36 species.  The Brown Thrasher was pleasing to me as were the two Golden Crown Kinglets (I just love that bird).
