Paul and all, we won't have fall walks at lake roland as more delay continue again. But we WILL have a spring walk in 2012. We were promised it'll be open by early sept but for some reason it'll be delayed till early spring. I know everyone looking forward to return to lake roland, favorite haunt since march 11, 1945. - Kevin Graff

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Lover Lake Roland, 6/26/11
With apologies for a late post, I made a short (0900-1100), illegal foray
into the picnic grounds, along with numerous "locals", to survey the area
that will serve the Balto. Bird Club on its fall schedule of about 9 weeks,
seeking fall migrants, etc.
A super day, with low temp's and a light breeze--a real pleasure to be out
walking. Oh, yes, I did ID 32 spp. of birds, including 4 warblers, during a
walk that extended northward along L. Roland and including the dike
loop.
Best look of the day was a close-up display of the beauteous Baltimore
Oriole early on. Other notables included the G B Heron, Green Heron,
Y-b Cuckoo, Pileated W'pkr, Tree Swallow and House Wren. The four
warblers were: N. Parula and Yellow, Ovenbird and MD Yel'throat. Near
the end of the jaunt, a family of Canada Geese was spotted on the water,
4 adults shepherding a group of 9 adolescents.
Many nice imrovements are evident, including a boardwalk trail leading
westward through the woods toward the light rail Park 'n Ride facility,
which should prove to be a felicitous addition.
