Hi all,

I went to Point Lookout State Park this morning (4-22-99) thinking that
some migrant warblers may have spent the wet night there.  There were a
few and new for the year for me was Worm-eating and Yellow, but the big
story was Seaside Sparrows.  More than 50 of them!  More than twenty
were in the group of trees near the bathrooms at the point!  The rest
were at the ponds that the Wood Stork was in last fall.  I only walked
beside the road the only birds that flushed were adjacent to the road.
I am sure there were many more as I could hear singing beyond.  There
were also Nelson's and Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows.  I saw a couple
of each.

I also went to Cornfield Harbor and saw none!

Good birding,
