The Yellow-headed Blackbird in Scotland, MD just south of Long Neck Rd was
seen today at 8:55 a.m. by a very reliable St. Mary's County birder. It was
not seen by Jeff Culler or me. We were at the location before and after the
sighting. A kestrel was chasing and spooking many of the nearby birds
including a meadowlark. Below are our lists for the Long Neck Rd area and
