Hello all.

Counted Blackbirds this evening at the Kembo Road area of far northern AA 
County, the numbers weren't great due to the wind.  Found a Fox Sparrow. 

Before that, I crossed over the city line to view some birds from Fort 
Armistead. Armistead gives great views of Fort Carroll, which provides 
excitement for upcoming spring/summer birding.
