A few times a week I go birding during my lunch break on the 
Patuxent Branch Trail off Guilford Road, and most days I find very 
little.  Throughout the last several weeks, on some days I've 
found a Magnolia and a couple Redstarts, and other days I've found 
no migrants at all.  Today was one of those pleasant exceptions 
that keeps me coming back.  All of these birds were found along 
the sewerline right-of-way on the other side of the Little 
Patuxent River from the paved Patuxent Branch Trail.

1 Belted Kingfisher
