    Thirteen birders spent 2 and 1/2 hours this morning (4/14) exploring
several sites on the grounds of the Jean Shehan Audubon Sanctuary near
Bozman, MD.  A total of 65 species were found.  Highlight:
    Yellow-throated Warbler low enough and cooperative enough to even give
scope views - and singing jubilantly throughout the viewing.
    Bonaparte's Gulls (5) and Surf Scoters (many) - both new species for
this site.
    A pair of Brown Thrashers; many Meadowlarks; several Barn Swallows and
Tree Swallows; Brown-headed Nuthatches; Three Horned Grebes in breeding
plumage; one fly-over Great Egret; and, for Atlasing purposes, a Downy
Woodpecker carrying nesting materials into a hole on a dead snag.
    During pre-walk checking on Saturday, the Jean Shehan grounds had also
shown a Hermit Thrush, a Red-breasted Nuthatch and a Common Yellowthroat,
but these were not relocated today.
