Howdy, 

Logan Bryant, Kevin Oxenrider, Ryan Steiner and I took a leisurely stroll between lock 172 and mile marker 175 on the C&O Canal at North Branch in Allegany County just east of Cumberland this afternoon. Highlights included three LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES and eight RUSTY BLACKBIRDS. 

Good birding-
Matt
