Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Nashville in Garrett Co. (or West Virginia) ?
I took a look at the Google map and it looks like our NAWA straddled the MD/WV line, going from one state to the other. Also, it looks like the "John Deere" sign was placed atop the regular street sign of Lakeford. We had another very brief look at a NAWA at Swallow Falls, but it was high. The bird was singing, but I could only just verify what it was. Unfotunately, we did not hear the one at Cranesville Swamp.

Nashville warblers have been more or less regular in

the need to be extra careful with county sighting claims

i.e., the state line runs right down Muddy Creek Road.
I have only my quaint DeLorme Atlas which indicates that when
you turn on Muddy Creek Rd. from Cranesville Swamp Rd.
you're in West Virginia when you swing left after a few
hundred yards. The Nashvilles have traditionally been
in swampy areas on the left (MD) side of the road .
Cranesville Swamp Preserve itself is apparently in Maryland
but the line is very close and unmarked.
Of course, if you have the right kind of GPS tool
you should be OK,
but then,
isn't it time you started on your WV list, anyway?

Hey
Last weekend we had a Nashville Warbler at TNC's Cranesville Swamp reserve. We found it at the far side of the board walk (10am-ish). It was definitely on a territory, and circled around us, calling (so please don't use playback). Many times it was calling at the top of a conifer. Learn the call before you go and you should find it.
