On May, 8 Nancy and I did the Baltimore County May Count at Woodstock basically following the Patapsco River downstream from the bridge for about 3 miles, and then heading away from the river, and returning by way of the ridge. We had 81 species including 19 species of warblers for a very enjoyable day. The Yellow-breasted Chat was a surprise for the riverine habitat in which it was found. The list for the day is as follows: 2 Great Blue Heron 1 Green Heron 4 Black Vulture 9 Turkey Vulture 12 Canada Goose 1 Wood Duck 4 Mallard 1 Osprey 4 Red-tailed Hawk 1 Killdeer 3 Solitary Sandpiper 1 Spotted Sandpiper 6 Mourning Dove 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo 10 Chimney Swift 1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1 Belted Kingfisher 13 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 5 Northern Flicker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 2 Eastern Wood-Pewee 7 Acadian Flycatcher 4 Eastern Phoebe 3 Great Crested Flycatcher 2 Eastern Kingbird 4 White-eyed Vireo 8 Yellow-throated Vireo 17 Red-eyed Vireo 12 Blue Jay 5 American Crow 6 Fish Crow 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 4 Barn Swallow 11 Carolina Chickadee 14 Tufted Titmouse 4 White-breasted Nuthatch 7 Carolina Wren 1 House Wren 13 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 3 Eastern Bluebird 11 Veery 6 Swainson's Thrush 13 Wood Thrush 5 American Robin 18 Gray Catbird 4 Northern Mockingbird 1 European Starling 1 Blue-winged Warbler 14 Northern Parula 5 Yellow Warbler 7 Chestnut-sided Warbler 4 Magnolia Warbler 16 Black-throated Blue Warbler 32 Yellow-rumped Warbler 7 Black-throated Green Warbler 3 Prairie Warbler 8 Blackpoll Warbler 15 Black-and-white Warbler 11 American Redstart 4 Worm-eating Warbler 18 Ovenbird 5 Louisiana Waterthrush 1 Kentucky Warbler 17 Common Yellowthroat 2 Canada Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 17 Scarlet Tanager 4 Eastern Towhee 1 Chipping Sparrow 1 Field Sparrow 2 Swamp Sparrow 25 White-throated Sparrow 11 Northern Cardinal 10 Indigo Bunting 1 Red-winged Blackbird 6 Brown-headed Cowbird 3 Orchard Oriole 9 Baltimore Oriole 2 House Finch 6 American Goldfinch 81 Species 538 Individuals Elliot Kirschbaum Baltimore, MD USA mailto:ekirschb@bcpl.net
