This morning I made my first, long overdue visit to the Swan  Creek wetland 
in Anne Arundel County. Best bird was a SEASIDE SPARROW that  teed up on a 
metal pole for a good study. This was at the point where the path  meets the 
beach, among grasses on the right. Other highlights were SNOWY EGRET,  
LITTLE BLUE HERON, GLOSSY IBIS, MARSH WREN, and SAVANNAH SPARROW. Full list  
below.
