Cool! I've heard of having "target" birds, but this is ridiculous. 
Well, folks, third time's the charm - let's see what else we can 
turn up.

Hi Everyone,

I had to stop by the Columbia Crossing center today, and decided to 
check for June's Great Black-backed Gull from Saturday. This would 
have been a new Howard Co. bird for me, so I stopped at the far end 
of the Target parking lot and scanned the light posts. I noted three 
Ring-billed Gulls, then came across a very unexpected bird - a 
MERLIN.  Yes, the fabled "Columbia Parking Lot Effect." ...
