Also of note in the Sapsucker Woods area this morning (at feeders at the corner of Sapsucker Woods and Sanctuary Drive) was a flock of at least 18 PURPLE FINCHES, 5+ American Goldfinches, and at least one PINE SISKIN.
Two BONAPARTE'S GULLS were at George Road, and a GRAY CATBIRD was skulking in the underbrush along the trail off Springhouse Road (near George Road). In our yard on Beam Hill we had a few new arrivals (Eastern Towhee, Chipping Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler), and one notable departure--us. It's moving day and I will be living on Tareyton Drive as of today. After 14 years and 182 species in this yard, I'm finally leaving Beam Hill.
