Hi folks,

     While running some errands on Thursday (4/22), I decided to stop
at Pinto Marsh.  I spotted an AMERICAN BITTERN making a brief flight
from one spot to another in the Marsh.

Common Yellowthroats  2 or 3

Green Heron
White-eyed Vireo
Yellow Warbler
Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers   2
Western Palm Warblers   2
White Crowned Sparrow  (at least 4)

at Rocky Gap SP (4/22)
Common Loon (just 1)
PB Grebe
Greater Yellowlegs
House Wren

Constitution Park (4/22)
Chimney Swift
Great-crested Flycatcher
House Wren  (several in the neighborhood adjacent to the park)
Black-and-White Warbler

Ruby Crowned Kinglet at all locations except the marsh

The Mute Swan is still present at the Cumberland Terminus (seen as a
drive-by)
The Snow Goose is still at Pinto Pond (Pinto, MD)

I see now why I didn't get many errands done !
