Yesterday was a humbling day- Frederick County was pretty naked in my yellow
book when I left the house this morning. Well...it still is. Aside from the
20 or so birds that can be seen in most Maryland yards, I got skuuuuuunked. 

On/around the path to the Thurmont Overlook in Catoctin- dead quiet. I mean,
terrible "Blair Witch Project" quiet. There still isn't any undergrowth in
the woods, but even the woodpeckery habitat didn't yield a single knock. 

I did get five Carroll Co birds in the 2-3 miles of I-70 on the way west! ;)
