We took a nice easy walk along the NCO Hiker-Biker-Horsey and Doggie Trail
this AM. I think they let you bird on it too as long as you don't scare the
horses.
Anyway, we had a lot of Phoebe's and a nice look at a Pileated and a
Golden-Crowned, but the one that got the wife giddy was the singing and seen
LA Waterthrush along Bee Tree Run. Since we were less than 5 miles from the
PA line at the time, I am going to claim this as the northernmost
waterthrush in MD. If anybody finds one closer to the Mason-Dixon, let me
know and I will gladly yield the crown. But not the Golden Crown. We like
that one.
