Robin,
	I have about a dozen November and December reports for 
Black-throated Green Warbler in Maryland and DC listed.  The previous 
late record for Howard County was 11-11-92.  The only ones later tnah 
Nov. 22 are two Christmas Count records.  Though a BTG at this time is 
extraordinary it does happen occasionally.
	Last Saturday at Conowingo with Rick Blom I saw a Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher.  We're not sure where these birds are coming from, but there 
is always a trickle of tardy migrants.
