Bob:

No, I was in Calvert. Jane had a single martin in St. Mary's the next day,
3/18. I don't think the Calvert bird is a record but it's pretty neat to
see them so early.

It was nice to meet you again since we'd only met once before when you
came to look for the Tufted Duck a few years ago. That's actually what I
went to the river to look for since there are hundreds of both scaup
aggregating near Patterson Park Maybe next year...

Good Birding!

Tyler,
 The early record for Purple Martin in St. Mary's County is March 
10, 1940.  I assume you were in St. Mary's; is that correct?

 Migrants seen today - a Turkey Vulture struggling northward 
against the wind over the center of Baltimore, a large flock of windblown
Robins at home this evening, and a single Killdeer flying over home also.
