Hi Folks!
 
I started yesterday at Huntingtown NRMA. This public area is several  
hundred acres with cultivated fields [soybeans this year], hedgerows, deciduous  
woodland, scattered pine patches and  extensive marsh along the Patuxent  
River. It is a great area for walking, but just be aware that the area is also 
a  public hunting area.

From here I worked my way down the river hoping for waterfowl. Mostly all I 
 found was ice and flocks of Canada Geese lounging on it. Along the way I 
ran  into a dozen Horned Larks on Potts Point Road, a White-crowned Sparrow 
on  Sheridan Point Road, and a male Pine Warbler with Brown-headed and  
White-breasted Nuthatches on Lloyd Bowen Road.
 
Good Birding!
