I arrived there a bit later than usual, about 7:45, and ran into John
Stup just as he was preparing to leave. Fortunately, right on MD121,
between the bridge and the parking lot, we encountered a nice flock of
birds before he left. The best bird, seen in the same place but right
after John left, was probably an immature Yellow-breasted Sapsucker.
Although I've seen a couple of others in late September, this was my
earliest ever. Later, saw my FoY Red-breasted Nuthatch. List is below.
