Spent an hour birding against the clock before work this morning at
Patuxent North Tract, AA County. Searched without success for the
American Tree Sparrows that Dan Haas and I had there in late December.
Treats included 3 FoY RB Nuthatches (one at feeders, two heard), as well
as a lovely Fox Sparrow under the trees near Merganser Pond. Also saw
the resident pond beaver swimming toward his lodge...

The feeders also held what I am almost certain were a couple of BC
Chickadees mixed in with the Carolinas. The slightly larger size and
field marks were good for Black-Capped, but they did not vocalize, so I
will be cautious and not make positive ID.

Full list below. Good Birding!
