A Common Raven was the highlight of birding at Soldier's Delight in the rain
this morning. The Raven called as I walked through the clearing on the
Northwest side of the Serpentine trail. As it flew Southwest it called
several times and was again an hour later.

The Owings Mills area got a little snow overnight, so the ground was covered
with slush here and there - that explains the Junco.
