Hello All,
                I birded my little corner of the world (on the state line between Seaford and Federalsburg) yesterday morning and was pleasantly surprised to find 51 species.  That matches my best January total.  The best bird was a flyby Lesser Black-backed Gull on Oak Grove Rd in Caroline Co.  Turns out it was a county bird.  There were 1300 or more swans flying in from the SW all morning along with a few Snow Geese and Canada Geese.  Also on Oak Grove Rd was a flock of 20 Meadowlark.  I have encountered this flock in the area three times since late fall.  It seems strange to me that since Meadowlark has become so hard to find that my 3 highest counts have been from this flock.  Also had a Phoebe (DE) a yellow Palm Warbler (DE), a western Palm Warbler (MD) and 6 Chipping Sparrows (DE).  It seems to be a really good winter for Chippers around here.

Good Birding,
