Hi all,
Arrived before dawn with John Dennehy for pre-dawn
flight. Heard no thrushes during that time but got
impressive # of passerines later along Minebank Trail
near abandoned house. Good strong robins, waxwings,
bluebirds, swifts, monarchs flights all day.
We're hoping of getting more good flights for
upcoming Baltimore Bird Club trip this Sat 23rd to the
park at 8am. Meet at Willow Grove farm lot. After
birdwalk, we'll go straight to the hawkwatch site for
the rest of the day.
