Also, at Bumblebee? Pond, in back of the lake were two Least Sandpipers keeping company with a single Solitary Sandpiper at 6:30 this evening. Other highlights: Horned Grebe--still there Green Heron Red-eyed Vireo Yellow Warbler Blackpoll Warbler (heard) Baltimore Oriole, today seen well, and heard all around the lake Patapsco River Park at Henryton was rather quiet this evening, with Ovenbird being the most exciting bird. A few parulas and a Pine Warbler were singing.
