We did some birding in Frederick Co. this am. Along the Catoctins, had a
good movement of flycatchers, mostly Easter Phoebe, but also Wood-pewee,
two Least FC, one very nice Yellow-bellied FC, and a "Traill's"  Despite
looking at hundreds of dead snags, no Olive-sided, sniff... Only a few
warblers: Redstart, Chestnut-sided, Ovenbird, Worm-eating and an early
Palm.

Then we went to the pond near Emmitsburg (the low pond) and had a juv
Baird's SP, in with a good number of Pectorals and Leasts, Killdeer, Spotted
SP and one Semipalmated Plover.
