Hi Sarel,
The park is located in Baltimore Highlands. Here are GPS coords: N 39�
14.105 W 076� 37.350 which you can plug into a GPS or paste into
googlemaps.com. The physical address is: Southwest Area Park, 3939 Park Dr,
Halethorpe, MD 21225.
And I admit that I am intentionally using GPS coords in hopes that it will
catch on in the birding community. It can be extremely helpful in getting
birders to the exact spot of a sighting. I remember once I was birding with
Scott Housten in search of a specific bird and the directions were something
like �stay on that road for a while until you see the graffiti, then drive a
little further�� LOL! GPS coords would have been very useful. Also, with
many people having either in car GPS or smartphones, it�s very easy to
determine a GPS coordinate.
For what it�s worth�.

For many postings I am not sure where these places are located. I realize
the MOS site and local chapter sites have some sites listed but not all. If
convenient can the person posting include some sort of location info or at
least the nearest street or town?Much appreciated!

Hi Everyone,
This afternoon I found an epic three Connecticut Warblers at Southwest Area
Park. The first was a bright juvenile at the entrance of the wooded trail
(playground area). The entrance right behind the covered pavilion he perched
up briefly in a willow oak right on the path. Later, I had two birds
rummaging in the ground-cover vine under the FIRST open black locust stand
on the trail that runs back behind the airfield. The birds simultaneously
flew up in the black locusts � TWO CONWs that lacked yellow in the throat. I
photo�d all.
There was good migrant activity, including an (at the time) un-justly
overshadowed adult male Cape May at the entrance road to the airfield.
Here is the photo of a bright juv and possible adult-female or hatch-year
male (Thanks Frode for the age analysis):
