After returning from a month-long trip to Bird Pergatory (a.k.a. the beautiful Mediterranean isle of Malta), I thirsted for a taste of migration in a land where no one shoots or traps passerines. Fortunately, jet lag woke me before sunrise. I headed over to Hughes Hollow (HH), followed by Seneca (S). Here are migrant highlights: white-eyed vireo 1 HH blue-headed vireo 1 HH warbling vireo 1 S yellow-throated vireo 1 HH northern parula 8 S yellow warbler 2 HH black-throated green warbler 2 S yellow-throated warbler 2 S prairie warbler 2 River Road near HH palm warbler 4 S American redstart 1 S prothonotary warbler 1 HH, 1 S northern waterthrush 1 HH Louisiana waterthrush 4 S common yellowthroat 1 Hunting Quarter Rd., 1 HH bobolink two males HH in trees on right after first impoundment (a major surprise) Howard Youth Rockville, MD hmyouth@erols.com
