It did not rain until about 11:30; so we had a great morning. We had great sightings of both Orioles (3 Orchard, 6 Baltimore) and managed to get the scope focused on a Blue Grosbeak (sorry Carol). We saw a total of 59 species -- some of the highlights are below. 6 Warbler species: YELLOW WARBLER (9m, 2f); YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT (2); NORTHERN PARULA (2 singing); BLACKPOLL (2 singing); COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (3m, 1f); AMERICAN REDSTART (1 singing) 2 Shorebird species : Killdeer (1); Spotted Sandpiper (3) 5 Flycatcher species : Eastern Wood-Peewee (1); Acadian Flycatcher (2 singing); Willow Flycatcher (6); Eastern Phoebe (1); Eastern Kingbird (3); Others: Scarlet Tanager (1 singing); Blue Grosbeak (1m); Indigo Bunting (2m); Brown Thrasher (1); Green Heron (4) Keith Eric Costley Randallstown, Baltimore County ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
