Hi Everyone,

Stan Arnold and I spent an excellent day birding around Carroll Co. today. I started off solo around Marriottsville Road and Piney Run Reservoir, then met up with Stan to bird North Liberty Lake and Morgan Run NEA. It was a great day to be out!  Below are some of our highlights. I've posted new photos at http://www.billhubick.com/new_set.html.
