Howdy,
Kevin Oxenrider, Ryan Steiner and I made several stops today in Garrett County. Highlights were: three AMERICAN PIPITS at Youghiogheny Reservoir, and 15 cumulative warbler species. Sparrow diversity was also very good; there was a SAVANNAH at the Yough, and LINCOLN'S at Finzel.
Early this morning, Finzel was covered in fog and relatively quiet. We revisited later in the afternoon with much more success. eBird lists are posted below, minus a couple incidental observations I've yet to record.
Good birding-
Matt
