MDOsprey,

Karen and I spent yesterday evening and this morning in Layhill Park.

5/2 - evening
found 2 BLATIMORE ORIOLES (m and f), but they were rapidly chased off by the
scuffle between some ORCHARD ORIOLEs.  There were 3 Orchards: an adult male
and female -obviously dating- and an emphatically singing, immature-plumaged
Orchard trying to move in.

We also found WHITE EYED VIREO, PRARIE WARBLERS, PARULAs, LOUSIANA
WATERTHRUSH, and a BARD OWL.

5/3 - Morning (Ran into Gail and Barry)
Not too much activity, but hear PARULAs, PRAIRIES, and many YELLOWTHROATs.
Also saw two MAGNOLIAs and a single, quiet YELLOW THROATED VIREO.  Also
watched a migrating flock of BLUEJAYs dive out of the sky and scatter in the
trees in fear of a low-flying single-engine plane.  As soon as the
"predator" passed, they took off again.

Jordan,
Cloverly, MD
