Hello all -

I led a walk in Little Bennett this morning - we hiked up Hyattstown Mill Road 
and along some of the trails at that end of the park.

Highlights included a Barred Owl on the appropriately-named Owl Ridge Trail, a 
soaring Osprey, and a good sampling of newly-arrived winter species, including 
Brown Creeper, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, both Ruby and Golden-crowned Kinglets, 
and White-throated Sparrows. 


Still good warblers around: Nashville, Tennessee, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue 
and Green, Am Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, and Yellow-rumped were all seen. 


Other highlights were Swainson's Thrush and Veery; Blue-headed and Red-eyed 
Vireos; and vociferous Common Ravens, which are becoming fairly regular at 
Little Bennett.

Good birding all!
