Hi all,
 
  Took a short walk up the hiker-biker trail in Aspen Hill today.  The highlight was 2 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS foraging in the soccer field with many robins. When the robins would scatter due to a running dog, the rusties would key in on this and fly up with them.
Juncos were singing. Expecting Louisana Waterthrush in a few days.  They are my spring harpbringer.
