Date: 05/02/2004 Place: Cylburn, Baltimore City
Time:8:30-11:00 Species Seen: 44
Total Birds: 150
highlights: 6 Baltimore Orioles, 4 Warbling Vireos, and dozens of
uncounted, unidentified warblers in the swirling, misting, warm
spring rain. Next week promises exceptional warbler fallout
and chance of unexpected neotropical migrants.
Observers: It was an extraordinary group of birders all having unique
degrees of expertise and enthusiasm, including the following:
Cladia Burns ( optical director), Bryce Butler ( urban director)
Elliot Kirschbaum, Nancy Smith, Paula and Taylor McLean,
Mathew Gray, John Dennehy ( director of new birds), Martin Brazeau,
the Cromwell Valley contingent, and many others
( Please excuse me for name omissions)
Good Birding!
