Dear All, A few hours on the "Rails to Trails" section of Gunpowder Falls North of Baltimore yielded a few interesting birds: Canada Goose 3 Wood Duck 2 Mallard 1 Turkey Vulture 1 Osprey 3 Bald Eagle 1 Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Solitary Sandpiper 1 Rock Dove 1 Mourning Dove 5 Barred Owl 1 Chimney Swift 1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1 Belted Kingfisher 2 Red-bellied Woodpecker 14 Downy Woodpecker 6 Hairy Woodpecker 3 Northern Flicker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 1 Eastern Phoebe 4 Great Crested Flycatcher 1 Eastern Kingbird 1 Tree Swallow 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 Blue Jay 8 American Crow 12 Fish Crow 1 Carolina Chickadee 11 Tufted Titmouse 10 White-breasted Nuthatch 2 Carolina Wren 6 House Wren 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 5 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 8 Eastern Bluebird 2 American Robin 8 Northern Mockinird 7 European Starling 2 White-eyed Vireo 1 Solitary Vireo 2 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Blue-winged Warbler 1 Northern Parula 10 Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 Prairie Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 1 Black-and-white Warbler 3 Worm-eating Warbler 1 Ovenbird 1 Louisiana Waterthrush 2 Common Yellowthroat 4 Northern Cardinal 20 Eastern Towhee 4 Chipping Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 2 Swamp Sparrow 1 White-throated Sparrow 30 Dark-eyed Junco 1 Red-winged Blackbird 8 Common Grackle 2 Brown-headed Cowbird 18 House Finch 2 American Goldfinch 14 The eagle was flying up the river, and was my first for this trail. The owl was resting comfortably in a tree, about 80 yards off the path but in plain view of many walkers, bikers, etc., which didn't seem to bother it one bit. Also, a red fox ran across the path twice in the morning's early hours.
