     Howdy all!

        Early morning trip to Calvert Cliffs St Pk.  6:30am-7:45am.  Cold.
     Breeze from South, 0-5 mph.  Sunny.

        I spent 20 minutes in my yard on the Pax River (6:00am-6:20am)
     before going to the park.  Yard birds were included in the following
     list.

        I've got Spring Fever in a bad way.  Several larger groups of
     warblers, but still mostly Yellow-rumps.  Total 65 species (13 sp of
     warblers).  Birds with a '*' are new for me for Maryland this year...
