I had an incredible day birding at Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills.
Finding six (possibly 8) Vesper Sparrows was an amazing experience. Other
Sparrows present included Swamp, Song, Savannah, Chipping, Field and
White-throated. Other birding highlights included: a male Northern Harrier,
Merlin, Yellow Palm Warbler and an Eastern Meadowlark.
