Howdy All!

It's sure good to read everyone ELSE's fall rpts.  My backyard in
southern Calvert County is certainly NOT currently a migration
hub.  Am I just spoiled from traveling, or is this list really
pretty pathetic?

Backyard 9/28/98, Monday evening:

200  Laughing Gull
12   Ring-billed Gull
1    Red-shouldered Hawk (resident)
8    Eastern Bluebird
1    Carolina Wren
1    Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)
1    Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted)
1    Blue Jay

Backyard 9/29/98, Tuesday morning:
6    Laughing Gull
1    Fish Crow
1    Gray Catbird
1    Eastern Bluebird
1    Carolina Chickadee
2    White-throated Sparrow (ARRIVAL-yippee!  A new migrant!)

I did count 14 Cloudless Sulphurs in the front yard at one time
on Sunday afternoon...

Reading other stories of OPM (other people's migrants),
