Hi Peter,
Well, as you no doubt know (we saw you out working on the MD Monument hillside...) it was cold and wet. BUT...there were some interesting sightings today.
Top of the list: American Bittern, spotted by Kendall, a new birder, up on Boulder Bridge.
We also had a fly by Raven, a very early Great Crested Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, a Northern Parula, and two Savannah Sparrows.
Definitely an odd day. Cold but fun.
The list:
Best regards,
Tom
