Hello all.

After the morning rain, I surveyed Compass Pointe Golf Courses' north links.  
The course is located in Pasadena (in northern Anne Arundel County) off of Ft. 
Smallwood Rd.  For information, please email me. 

Best bird of the day was Fox Sparrow (5 of them) even though a construction 
crew kept me out of the better sparrow habitats.
