Today I visited Irvine Nature Center and the Baltimore County Center for
Maryland Agriculture and Farm Park trying to find sparrows and other field
birds. I had a nine sparrow day with eight species at Irvine and six species
at the Farm Park (adding an amazing Grasshopper Sparrow).
Other highlights of the day included: an adult male Northern Harrier and a
Blue-headed Vireo at Irvine; six Eastern Meadowlark and a first fall female
Cape May Warbler at the Farm Park.
