Sunday I travelled up to Kent Co. to wrap up some county birds with a stop at the turf farm on John Brown Rd. I hit the turf farm around 8:00am and was disapointed in the lack of activity. One lone Lesser Yellowlegs and a few Killdeer were all I saw and I soon found out why a Peregrin Falcon was sitting on one of the irrigation machines. I also heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo singing. At Eastern Neck NWR a pair of Blackburnian Warblers were in a mixed feeding flock on the Duck Inn Trail along with two more Yellow-billed Cuckoos. A Common Tern was sitting with Forster's Terns on the pilings by the bridge entrance. At the Chestertown sewage lagoons there were 15 Caspian Terns. Millington was very slowwith hardly any activity so I took some time and identified a few species of butterflies. Monarch, Zebra Swallowtail, East. Blk Swallowtail, tiger Swallowtail, Buckeye, Large Wood Nymph, Comma, Red Admiral, Pearly Crescent, Eastern Tailed Blue, Red-banded Hairstreak, and Golden-banded Skipper.
