Subject: [MDBirding] Great Day, Chesapeake Audubon @ Susquehanna, 5/4
Today the number of birders roaming the park outnumbered the parulas!

Ten of us on a Chesapeake Audubon field trip had a wonderful time at Susquehanna today, even though the migration isn't what it normally would be at this time. We had many highlights. Fantastic, close looks at CERULEAN WARBLER, KENTUCKY WARBLER, WORM-EATING WARBLER, and PROTHONOTARY, as well as Louisiana Waterthrush. Also nice views of Baltimore Oriole, Common Merganser, and Great-Crested Flycatcher--and even a Wild Turkey.

Top birds, including all warblers:

Common Merganser (2, male)
Wild Turkey (1)
Scarlet Tanager (2)
Baltimore Oriole (1)
Great Crested Flycatcher (2)

Ovenbird (12)
Worm-Eating Warbler (1)
Louisiana Waterthrush (8)
Blue-Winged Warbler (2)
Black-and-White Warbler (2)
Prothonotary Warbler (5)
KENTUCKY WARBLER (4)
Common Yellowthroat (2)
Redstart (20)
CERULEAN WARBLER (3)
Parula (30 at least)
Yellow Warbler (4)
Yellow-Rumped (40)
Yellow-Throated Warbler (2, very quiet)
Black-Throated Green Warbler (1)

Best Birding Wishes,
