Hey everyone-

I went to Fort McHenry with my dad this morning for a quick walk, and came across most of the same birds seen by Keith Eric Costley two days ago. The female Common Goldeneye and  Lincoln's Sparrow were at the exact same spots described by Keith.  I was a little tentative to call the Lincoln's because I don't have a ton of experience with that species, but the views I did get (including one right next to a Song Sparrow) gave me enough definitive field marks to call the bird.
