We managed to find sixty-three species for the morning (at the final tally I did not mark Chimney Swift and Brown-Headed Cowbird) including ten Warblers. Missing from the list was the Northern Mockingbird, Red-Winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, House Wren and House Finch. On the bridge into Baltimore County "the Skywalk" we had a close-up look a Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat and a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher. In the final minutes of the walk Bob Ringler found a Prothonotary Warbler and everyone enjoyed a bird's-eye view. Trip Highlights: A Great Group (Thank you for coming); BLUE-WINGED WARBLER (1m); NORTHERN PARULA (9); MYRTLE WARBLER (12); PRAIRIE WARBLER (3); BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER (9); PROTHONOTARY WARBLER (1m); OVENBIRD (7); LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH (4); COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (1M); Baltimore Oriole (2m); Orchard Oriole (1m); Yellow-Throated Vireo (1).
