Parulas, a single yellow Palm, and a loudly singing, on territory Louisiana Waterthrush. Also a singing White-eyed Vireo and Brown Thrasher. On Sunday, April 14, birding the Patuxent River watershed, scouting for an upcoming MOS walk and atlasing: 3 Savannah Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlark along Triadelphia Lake Rd., many D-C Cormorants, 8 Caspian Terns, Bald Eagle on nest (Howard County) at Greenbridge Rd. At Brighton Dam, 6-8 CLIFF SWALLOWS were recent arrivals, a single flyover Barn Swallow, a Red-tailed Hawk carrying nesting material (atlas bird), a small adult male Sharp-shinned Hawk flew almost into my face as it swooped up along the river. We were both surprised! A pair of B-G Gnatcatchers, Pine Warblers at many locations, and a flyby GREEN HERON across my backyard last night, almost in the dark!
