A pleasant morning temperature-wise. Most of the birds at Pt Lookout in St Marys County were the same species that have been there the past couple of days. The wicked storms from last evening must have held them in place...speaking of which, I observed my first ever waterspouts last evening on the Patuxent River near St Leonards Creek. Two funnels were side by side about 50 ft apart. Each funnel was approximately 30 ft wide and about 200 ft tall. They existed a total of about 30 seconds. Awesome. But enough about non-birding phenomena. Bumped into Marty Cribb at Pt Lookout this morning. Birding from 6:45-8:45am. This morning's highlights: 1 Virginia Rail (calling; Cornfield Harbor) 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Ft Lincoln) 15+ Eastern Kingbirds 10+ Orchard Orioles 1 Summer Tanager 9 Com Yellowthroat 1 Worm-eating Warbler (Cornfield Harbor; hunter's parking) 1 Ovenbird (Cornfield Harbor; hunter's parking) 1 Blackburnian Warbler (Cornfield Harbor; hunter's parking) 3 Magnolia Warbler (Cornfield Harbor/Ft Lincoln) 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Cornfield Harbor) 6 Pine Warbler 2 Yellow Warbler 3 Northern Waterthrush (Ft Lincoln) 5 American Redstart (Ft Lincoln) 1 Yellow-breasted Chat (Ft Lincoln) 1 WILSON'S WARBLER (Ft Lincoln) 1 Canada Warbler (Ft Lincoln) 1 CERULEAN WARBLER (Ft Lincoln) 3 Black-throated Blue Warbler (Ft Lincoln) -Greg Miller Hollywood, MD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
