I was able to spend several hours between 9 and 1 in the Barclay area of Queen Anne's County on Friday, and had good sightings, including 16 warbler species, a few very vocal Barred Owls, and several personal county FOY birds. And it's also a bonus to spend time on a few roads that have little traffic.
