Hi Everyone, 
Did most of my birding at  Rockburn branch Park in Elkridge this weekend. My highlight was a calling Barred owl at 330 in the afternoon. After searching from that spot and not finding it i found another trail and as i was searching a Red shouldered hawk started making racket above the trees and what i believe was the owl screeched through the woods . Exciting anyway .

Using the top floor of the Annapolis  mall parking garage for an observation deck has been interesting . this morning  i was feeding 20 American crows and a few Ringbilled and Laughing gulls .  . wonder how long ill get away with it. ?
