Hi Everyone,
Even though i swore i would boycott the tolls i ended up yesterday for a Bull Roast and again today for a family function in Dundalk / Essex area . After leaving family thing i figured id get some more of my 12 dollars worth of toll money and check some areas for birds. Most excitement at Riverside besides Mallards ,Gulls , Starlings, and Juncos looking for handouts I had a flyover dark bird that i thought was Eagleish . All i saw was dark body with small amount of white in center of wings. I did a resituate car to try and spot again but it just kept going .It came out of the BackRiver and headed toward Essex.
We then went to Fort Howard which i was unsure whether theyd be open or not as thought they had closed up for a long period.It was open . We did the Wildlife Drive from the entrance to the parking area and back again . I know I know !! someones going to tell me that is not a Wildlife Drive but it should be anyway . Mom spotted birds on the right side .woods . A few sparrows came out to edges and i I.D. White Throats , Song , Swamp , Savannah . I counted 40 Sparrows fly across road in small intervals.
