Sorry to hear it was slow elsewhere, but the birds in Gwynn Falls/Leakin =
Park area of Baltimore were fabulous (albeit isolated) Sunday morning.

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!
