I just spent 2 days at Carey Run (Sun eve - Tues late afternoon). 
It was fun. Unfortunately, bird activity seemed to be rather low, 
but I did get to see Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, and Bohemian 
Waxwing. The Ruffed Grouse wasn't exactly difficult; they walked 
right up to me as soon as I got out of the car! Looking for a 
handout, no doubt.

There were unbelievable numbers of butterflies there, and I got to 
see one species I'd never seen before - an American Copper.

On Monday I went for a 28 mile bike ride on the Great Allegheny 
Passage trail, starting from Frostburg and heading into 
Pennsylvania. Didn't see any unusual birds, but it was an incredible 
ride. I highly recommend it. It's do-able with any type of bike, 
including no bike at all - one can always walk, right?
