Folks
I am looking for directions to Southwest Area Park in Baltimore Co. to search for Ring-necked Pheasant. If Joel Martin count contact me that would be very helpful.
Thanks

A quick mid-afternoon walk around the northern end of Southwest Area Park
produced a beautiful rooster RING-NECKED PHEASANT that flushed from the
phragmites and flew across the road into the upper field. Each year I wonder how
long we'll continue to find them here. Otherwise it was not very birdy -- 3
KILLDEER in the turnabout area, 2 WILSON'S SNIPE (easy to find in the wet fields
in early spring), one singing AMERICAN TREE SPARROW and a dozen or so SONG
SPARROWS. Sparrows have been very hard to find this winter at SWAP. I wasn't
able to stay for the American Woodcock display at dusk, but it should have been
a good evening for them.
