An Orange-crowned Warbler was at the Elkhorn Garden Plots along Oakland 
Mills Road in Columbia on October 7 in the late afternoon.  There were large 
numbers of birds here and at Meadowbrook Park in Ellicott City during the 
cloudy, and at times, wet weather.  Other highlights were a Merlin flying 
rapidly south overhead at the garden plots, and Lincoln's and White-crowned 
Sparrows at both Meadowbrook and the garden plots. Also at Meadowbrook, 
Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green, and Nashville Warblers were seen along 
with 2 male Wood Ducks.
