Having missed yesterday's BBC trip to the fields of Carroll County, I took  
Father's Day morning to do some solo birding in the central and NW part of  
Carroll and a tiny piece of eastern Frederick. My goals were to see if I could  
fill some annoying holes in my Carroll list, find a RH Woodpecker for my  
Frederick list, and finally get a FOY Vesper Sparrow. It was a fun morning, with  
only Bobolink eluding me. Below are some highlights.
 
Mute Swan - pair, Liberty Reservoir at Bollinger Mill Road
Red-headed Woodpecker - 2; 1 Otterdale Mill Road (Carroll), 1 Hiney Road at  
the shady stream crossing just NE of Legore Road (Frederick)

Horned Lark - 1, heard only, Jasontown Road (Carroll)
