had a surprising day on Thursday. Had to go to Patuxent, so did some birding there, went on to North/Ches Beach after and birded around home before & after. When i totalled up the day i had 98 species! Biggest surprises were 2 Vesper Sparrows at the PWRC visitor center and a lone male Redhead at C. Beach. Also at N. Beach were 2 S-b Dows and a Semi Sand (along with dozens of Leasts). Figured i'd see if i could fill in the other 2 species on Friday, just birding around home, and ended up with 72 species, with a 2-day total of 112, including my first Northern Waterthrush of the year. Never broken the 100 mark in April, maybe i'll give it a try. danny bystrak jug bay
