Hello all.
I spent about 2 hours at Lake Roland this afternoon/evening and found some
notable birds.
Highlights:
Great Blue Heron: 2 Fishing in the Jones Falls
Amer. Black Duck: 1 In the shallows by the mudflats
Mallard X Black Duck: 1 Same as above
GW Teal: 5 1 drake and 4 hens, hanging out by the mudflats
Bufflehead: 3 1 drake and 2 hens
TV: 7
B. Kingfisher: 2
WB Nuthatch: 3
B. Creeper: 2 Along the main trail
W. Wren: 1 Brief look before it shot away from me
GC Kinglet: 2
RC Kinglet: 4
G. Catbird: 1 Getting late for him
E. Towhee: 2
Song Sparrow: 18 In several locations
WT Sparrow: 32+ Mostly along tracks and in trailside brush
Fox Sparrow: 2 1 along the train tracks and 1 in the brush off of the high
berm overlooking the lake. I call this the "sparrow spot".
Junco: 12
Also:
All Chickadees seen/heard were "Carolinas"
Best to all,
