Got out and did some birding this morning. Lots of FOY for me, which given that
I moved to Maryland late last summer, adds up to >20 new birds for the state!
Most interesting sighting was a singing Marsh Wren at Nolands Ferry. About 80
yards past the railway on the right by the telegraph pole - singing in a
tangled shrub - I guess migrating birds put down in some weird habitat when
it's raining!
