The weatherman delivered the perfect weather he promised, so I set out for a look at Bacon Ridge, but there wasn’t any good public access I could find, so I went on to Patuxent, where some good birds have been seen. They didn’t show for me or the other three guys met, and the day was pretty much a bust except for some Nuthatches.

This Northern Flicker was one of the few birds worth photographing.

Red Breasted Nuthatches are very agile as they search for food.
