Harrisburg, PA

 My son had a Volleyball tournament in Harrisburg PA this past weekend - I didn't have much time for birding but always hopeful when visiting a new area.  There was a creek behind the hotel so I spent some time hoping to see Wilson's Snipe since the creel matched their habitat but only saw Song Sparrows, 2 Kingfishers, Robins and Cardinals.  I also saw some Chicakdees that I photographed hoping they were Carolina Chickadees but only upload BOC photos to Whats this Bird and seems they are Black Capped Chickadees at this point.  I might try uploading better photos when I have a chance.  Otherwise some some Red Tailed Hawks, crows, an unidentified hawk and presumably a juvenile Bald Eagle while driving around/ back home.  We saw some Turkey Vultures around - most were around a "mountain ridge" on the way back.
