Brown's Bridge on Saturday AM: Had approx. 12 Pectoral Sandpipers, 15 Least Sandpipers, 12 Semipalmated Sandpipers, about 1/2 dozen -8 Lesser Yellowlegs, 12-15 Solitary Sandpipers, a few Spotties, many Killdeer, a single Osprey catching a small fish ,and E. Wood-pewee. All these birds were seen from the Howard County side of the river. Park in the small gravel lot on the Howard County side, cross the tiny creek and walk down along the river around two bends. There are exposed mudflats where the birds are feeding. Sunday AM along Tucker Lane (just north of Ednor Rd/Brown's Bridge) off New Hampshire Ave. in Ashton, I had a slow start but ended (around 11) with a bang. 8 warbler species and 3 vireos, plus many regular breeders. Warblers included Common Yellowthroat, a Yellow-breasted Chat (oddly, perched high in a tree in the woods, very out of character), American Redstarts, a first fall female Chestnut-sided Warbler, a pair of Balck&whites, a loudly scolding Ovenbird (never heard one carry on so, with loud chip notes quickly repeated), and being chased by a gorgeous male Kentucky Warbler! Also had a number of N. Parulas. Vireos included many Red-eyed still singing, a few White-eyeds, and my last bird of the morning, a Yellow-throated. Had at least 4 Yellow-billed Cuckoos doing a full repertoire of their "songs", Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Indigo Buntings, Field Sparrows, and a few territorial hummers, one chasing a chickadee. As others have noted, woodland birds seem to be on the move as well as shorebirds. And as Gail noted, a really nice crop of chokecherries appears to be ripening. Rick Sussman Ashton,MD
