Hi all,
While driving east on West Nursery Road in Linthicum, I saw a PEREGRINE
FALCON tearing up a meal on the large steel power towers.
Earlier, I drove a lap around Andrews AFB and Fort Meade, but didn't
scrounge up anything too exciting. Two EASTERN MEADOWLARKS sang their intro
to Bach's "Badinerie" while I sat on perimeter road, stopped by the base
police, waiting for Air Force One to pass overhead. Neither post were very
warblery- PINE at Andrews; PINE, AMERICAN REDSTART, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT at
Meade. Windy afternoon, beautiful sky...I was a little slow returning to work.
Good birding-
