Greetings,

This afternoon at work I saw a Fox Sparrow near M-Field at the Edgewood Area of APG. –Only Sparrow All day. Other notable land birds included an Eastern Meadowlark, about 15 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 13 Bald Eagles (higher than usual count), and Cooper’s Hawk.

On the Gunpowder River and in the coves of Gunpowder Neck, near Maxwell Point, I counted only 1 Mute Swan, ca. 550 Tundra Swans, 1000+ Canada Goose (mostly flying north), 15 Black Bucks, 12 Mallards, 90 Gadwall, 40 American Wigeon, 23 Common Goldeneye. 500+Sscaup sp., 20 Ring-necked Duck, 7 Bufflehead, 80 Common Merganser,  and 5 LONG-TAILED DUCKS!

Good birding,
Chris Starling
