  2. Everything revolves around Orb

    The colt was a knucklehead, really.
    The Baltimore Sun
    The colt was a knucklehead, really. He had speed and endurance in his pedigree, but if you had polled his owners and his trainer a year ago, none would have predicted that he’d gallop in the same steps as his great-grandsire, 1977 Triple Crown...

  8. People are invasive species number one

    I am compelled to respond to George Fenwick's commentary ("The destructive invasive species purring on your lap," Feb. 26). He cites recent studies suggesting very high bird and mammal deaths due to outdoor cats. He then goes on to propose a Draconian solution that could accurately be described as a cat witch hunt. I do acknowledge the problem, particularly with feral cats (free-roaming, unowned). But Dr. Fenwick's attempt to demonize cats by use of terms like "invasive species," "invaders," "introduced predator," and "slaughter" invests his thesis with a hysteria usually reserved for al-Qaida sightings.

  10. Ravens, the flying kind, not so common in Harford or eastern Maryland

    Harford County may be the natural habitat for Ravens fans, but it isn't necessarily the best place in Maryland to get a look at the bird for which the Super Bowl-bound team is named.

  11. Russett: Welcoming the season for winter bird watching

    Autumn has arrived in all its splendor of bright reds and gold, which means our spring and summer species of birds will soon be migrating to warmer areas and be replaced with our winter species. Over the years, I have signed up for the Cornell...
