I did a morning fall count at Black Marsh in se Baltimore County, MD
along the Chesapeake Bay.
 
Merlin and Yellow-bellied Flycatcher were nice.  I had one group of 9
Blue Grosbeaks and a total of 12.
Warblers and Sparrows were nowhere to be found in windy conditions.
 
Note: Fort Howard was closed
