Yesterday afternoon (Monday) I stopped by Patuxent River Park (Jug 
Bay) in southern Prince George's County.  Had a very pleasant walk in 
the Black Walnut Creek Nature Study Area, where I saw skunk 
cabbage blooming. 

Bird-wise, it was pretty quiet.  I heard 2 Eastern Towhees calling and 
saw 3 Rusty Blackbirds in the reeds by the river.  There were lots of 
gulls flying over the river, some of which appeared smaller and more 
agile - could have been Bonaparte's, but I wasn't feeling ambitious 
enough to set up the scope and pick through them. 

On the way home, I saw a forsythia in bloom along Rte. 202.  I could 
get used to this!
