About 30 patcipants joined Chan for a lovely morning of birding at
Middle Patuxent. The birds were quite similar in variety to last
saturday's field trip. The nicest addition was a PHILADELPHIA VIREO. A
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO also appeared. 2 different YELLOW-BILLED cuckoos
were seen, the latter giving everyone in the group great looks as it
consumed some white fuzzy caterpillars. A BROAD WING appeared at 10:00
on the dot. BALTIMORE ORIOLE, ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK and INDIGO BUNTING
were also observed.
	A PILEATED made a spectacular appearance as it flew across a clearing.
