Dear Mark,

I am 100% sure that i had that redstart.  The bird was singing at the beginning of colbourne mill and i had good looks of the bird.  It was a male obivously.  Though when I saw it I was unaware of it possibly being the first record for March.

                                                            Zach Baer
                                                    Centreville, Md
