It was pretty slow but I got some firsts of the season, for me at least: a Veery, and singing Prothonotary Warbler (somewhat towards the top from marker # 12). There was a probable Cerulean Warbler, but heard only, plus a few Ovenbirds and Parulas, and Wood Thrushes doing "whip, whip, whip" calls. Surprisingly, no orioles or tanagers, and no Red-headed Woodpecker. I also saw my first Black-throated Blue Warbler of the season in a brief stop at Woodstock on the Baltimore County side.
