as i was birding this morning along the creek on the kingsley side of LB looking for winter wrens which i have seen the last 2 times , i spotted something strange across the creek with some juncos that looked like a cross between a black-throated blue and a black-and-white with a little chick-a-dee thrown in. but when i got back to the car and looked it up in my warbler book, the black-throated gray fit the bill(pun not originally intended)! i also crossed the creek to the south side and got a better look before it disappeared. also yesterday i saw a beautiful sight of 2 bald eagles setting on a dead tree facing different directions in a field in the NW corner of clarksburg and lewisdale roads. john f stup, damascus,md
