A couple hours at CVP was fairly non-birdy, totaling 29 species.

Highlight was an osprey circling over the prairie warbler/ chatland 
meadow.  Carrying a good-sized stick, the osprey circled until it gained 
sufficient height and disappeared over the ridge in the direction of 
Loch Raven.  For last year's atlas, we had a pair of Osprey at the the 
lower end of LR reservoir.

Other good birds included:

Eastern Phoebe  (personal FOY)
Fox Sparrow
Field Sparrow

And the usual assortment:

Turkey Vulture
Red-tailed Hawk
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Mourning Dove
Red-bellied WP
Downy WP
Northern Flicker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
Northern Mockingbird
Eastern Towhee
Northern Cardinal
White-throated Sparrow
Song Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Red-winged Blackbird
Brown-headed Cowbird
American Goldfinch
