The birding very good yesterday in the Granite Area of Patapsco Valley State
Park. A dozen Wild Turkey were found behind St Alphonis Church on Old Court
Road, I added Green-winged Teal to my location list and found several
singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets.

In addition, I managed to get very close to an otter 1/2 mile upriver from
the Old Court Road/Granite Road bridge. This is my second otter sighting in
that portion of the river.

Take it easy.
