    We had a nice hike in the Middle patuxent Environmental Area this = morning. Hit a few pockets of birds but lots of walking through "slow" = areas. We found 14 species of warblers that ranged from single birds = (NASHVILLE, CANADA, CERULEAN)  to half dozens or more of (BLACKBURNIAN, = MAGNOLIA and REDSTARTS). A complete lack of Black-throated blues. We had = both ACADIANS and PEWEES feeding fledglings.
    Highlight was a closeout day on woodpeckers with my first SAPSUCKER = of the season and a flyover adult RED-HEADED WOODPECKER.=20
    A few ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS (at home too).
    A few early BROAD-WINGS had me hoping the hawks would move this = afternoon but I only had a few. While watching the skies I did pick up a = couple LAUGHING GULLS.=20
    Yesterday in the early morning I had a MERLIN buzz the feeders.
