Hi Everyone,

I was going to try for this YHBL this evening, but have spoken to folks who 
were there throughout the morning and the bird was a no show. Hopefully it 
will return.

Mark - Congrats on 400, an amazing number for MD!

Regards,

Eyler for bringing this bird to our attention!! Deer biologist turned 
birder!!

Three times the bird was on the gravel with scattered sunflower just to the 
east of the gravel road to the shop area (in front/south of the mobile bear 
traps). Park at the office and look for the concentration of doves, house 
finches, etc to the east. Was a bit skittish, so keep your distance. Once it 
was on the edge of the pond in the cattails with a red-wing, and it was in 
some of the large trees. Called a fair amount.



Good luck,



Mark Hoffman
