Jay Sheppard visited the Little Patuxent Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve this 
afternoon and called to report four species of swallows:

Bank
Barn
Northern Rough-winged
Tree

Also:
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Kildeer
Wilson's Snipe (~100)

And still presiding over the lake: Trumpeter Swan #960

It seems that Spring Break brought ne'er-do-wells out in force. Someone built 
a fire in a stump on the Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks upland that 
surrounds the lake and burned a large swath. Thank goodness it stopped at 
the trail and didn't proceed up the hillside to the condominiums.
