Subject: [MDBirding] Two comments on local Balto. scene.



On a Cromwell Valley SP walk Thurs. I noted Baltimore Orioles were back.

Yesterday, on a short midday walk at Lake Roland a few notables were small flock of Blue-winged Teal, Great Blue and Green Heron, Great Egret, Osprey, Belted Kingfisher and tons of Chippers seen. No shorebirds seen.

Still haven't see/heard my 1st Cuckoo of the season. No passerine migrant act'ty yet observed save B. Orioles. Gotta get out and beat the bushes I guess.
