This week's count: Monday: Essex Farm Park (near Towson). 1 Wilson's (male), 6 Blackpoll. Tuesday: Towson U. campus. 1 Chestnut-Sided (female), 4 Redstart (all female). I think some or all of the Redstarts were migrants. I did not see/hear any male Redstarts, or even Orangestarts. Wednesday: Robert E. Lee Park (Lake Roland), Pine Barrens. 1 Bay-Breasted (female), about 25 Blackpolls. About half the Blackpolls were female, and a few had pale yellow on the face, neck and breast. This made me think of female Cape May, but Dunn and Garrett's warbler book shows yellowish birds as a possible variant of spring female Blackpoll.
