Home»Western Maryland Birds 2013

The Western Maryland counties of Garrett, Allegany and Washington contain most of its mountains. Almost the entire area of Garrett is part of the Allegheny plateau, which makes it Maryland's little piece of Canada. Many otherwise boreal species of birds find their Maryland foothold here. These include many neotropical warblers. Washington area winter visitors like Juncos, Winter Wrens and Red-breasted Nuthatches also nest here.
