I spent this afternoon doing a little birding (and a lot of walking) 
in northern Carroll County.  My best sighting by far was a small 
flock (8-10 birds) of PINE SISKINS on Study Road, about 100 yards 
south of the intersection with Halter Road.  They were resting, preening, 
and calling in the top of a Black Locust at the end of a row of spruce 
and hemlock growing alongside the road.  Other noteworthy birds 
included a pair of CACKLING GEESE with the Canadas on Study Road 
pond, two SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS mixing it up high in the air over 
the pond, and a BELTED KINGFISHER fishing from the end of the dock.

A great day to be out!
