And this goes for the cerulean at "rapids" area of McKeldin's Switchback Trail. Now that we know for a fact the birds are at these places, avoid playback. TH

Subject: [MDBirding] Patapsco-Henryton Cerulean
For any who chase the Cerulean at Patapsco-Henryton, please be mindful that Ceruleans have basically disappeared as breeders in the Patapsco Valley. This bird appears to be on territory as it is singing incessantly and chasing other birds through the treetops. We can only hope! Therefore, in my opinion, audio playback should NOT be used AT ALL on this bird. If it's around, it will sing, and you will hear it. Just be patient. We do not need to harass this bird with playback.
