    A beautiful morning at Pickering Creek provided a total of 48 species in
a 2-hour visit today.  Highlights and/or new arrivals:
    Blue Grosbeaks - several
    Indigo Buntings - numerous
    Scarlet Tanager - heard in distance
    Eastern Wood-Pewee - new arrival
    Northern Orioles - at least two
    Orchard Orioles - several
    Wood Thrushes - six or more
    Red-eyed Vireos - several
    Wild Turkey - strolling across the entrance road
    Grasshopper Sparrows - many
    White-throated Sparrow - a couple stragglers still around

    And, shortly after leaving Pickering Creek, I checked the turtle laden
waters beside Little Park Road near the intersection with Todd's Corner
Road - and found a mother Wood Duck with eight or possibly nine young.  The
young looked to be about a week old.
