Marcy and all,



   There is a raven being harassing by 7 american crows this morning.  It was seen from trail to the right to the small open at bottom of hill near the old creek bed.  warblers was slow at Oxbow but got many species at North Tract afterward.  Full list to come up. 

   Earlier this morning during Light Out Baltimore Project, there is a live Sora, seems healthy hiding in "Life in The Forest" habitat at National Aquarium.
