The front was still passing through this morning, with a burst of early
activity at the "ridge" and then slowing down considerably as the wind got
up. Nevertheless we tallied some good birds:

Nighthawk (2); Black-and-White (4), Black-throated Blue (2), Black-throated
Green (2), Blackburnian (1), Bay-breasted (4), Blue-winged (2), Canada (2),
Chestnut-sided (5), Magnolia (5), Nashville (2), Redstart (8), Wormeating (1),
Ovenbird (2), Common Yellowthroat (4); Yellow-billed Cuckoo (1); Veery (3);
Rosebreasted Grosbeak (1); Baltimore Oriole (2); Red-eyed Vireo (15-20);
Eastern Wood-pewee (5), Empidonax sp. (1)

There was no sign of the Clay-colored Sparrow in the Maintenance Yard, which
was noisy with workmen and trucks. The R-T Hummers seem to have moved out
with the front.

A few minutes ago (1 pm) -- a small kettle of Broadwings passed over our
house in Colesville, MD.
