This afternoon, I birded along Liberty Reservoir off Bollinger Mill Rd.,
north of Eldersburg.

The woods seemed very quiet between occasional pockets of birds.

Canada Goose			60 (on patch of open water at wider part of
reservoir)
Turkey Vulture			1
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker	1
Downy Woodpecker		1
Hairy Woodpecker		2
Blue Jay			1
American Crow			10
crow sp.			6
Carolina Chickadee		8
Tufted Titmouse			2
White-breasted Nuthatch	2
Carolina Wren			1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet		2
Eastern Bluebird		1
American Robin			1 
GRAY CATBIRD 		1 (absolutely silent and perched about 8' from the
trail)
Yellow-rumped Warbler		1
Fox Sparrow			1
Song Sparrow			3
White-throated Sparrow		1
Dark-eyed Junco		2
Northern Cardinal		4
American Goldfinch		1

Also seen perched in trees along Bollinger Rd: 2 Black Vultures & 1

The trails are very slippery: use of ice cleats strongly recommended.
