Didn't have any luck with the KING RAIL at Lilypons, but a gorgeous adult male
DICKCISSEL was seen by my husband and myself at the previously described
location at Ballenger Creek Rd. in Frederick County. We also heard and seen
the ALDER FLYCATCHER in the trees across the rd where the field is. The
DICKCISSEL was also singing his little heart out - I hope he finds a mate! We
also tried for the BLACK BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS near Glen Burnie- but they
were a no show (approximate time was 1230-0130) We checked both ponds
in the area, as described in the previous post. Good birding to all.
