Subject: [MDBirding] Laurel May Count (PG County)

I got a little crazy and birded for over 12 hours today for the Laurel
portion of the PG county May count. My summary eBird list is below (89
species). Some highlights:

* 3 COMMON LOONs on Rocky Gorge Reservoir

* OSPREYs jousting with COMMON RAVENs above T. Howard Duckett dam

* 4 COMMON NIGHTHAWKs over Laurel Riverfront Park

* The RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD was the last bird added to the count -- it
came to our feeder in the rain

* 1 WARBLING VIREO at Laurel Riverfront Park

* 1 VEERY and 2 SWAINSON'S THRUSH at Rocky Gorge Reservoir

* 1 HOODED WARBLER singing and giving good views at the Reservoir

* One of the INDIGO BUNTINGs came to our feeders
