The usual interesting migrants abounded - Acadian Flycatchers, Eastern W.= Peewees, B. Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, R-B Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, Swainson's and Wood Thrushes, Veery. Many other common(er) species as we= ll. Warblers were interesting as well, although numbers were on the low side - B & W, Yellow, Yellow-rump, Magnolia, N. Parula, Black-throated Bl= ues and Greens, Redstarts, Chestnut-sided, Ovenbirds. But the real highlights were some of the less commonly encountered specie= s (by numbers and timing): 8 Blackpolls, 5 Bay-breasted, and 7 Cape Mays. The latter two species were all along the Gwynn Falls, near its co= nfluence with Dead Run. And this was all in two hours - 7:30 - 9:30. Whew!
