Paul and I took an unambitious stroll down Weatheredsville Rd.
along the Gwynns Falls starting mid-morning (about 10:15)
and saw our first fall warblers.  Almost immediately
we had a Redstart and Ovenbird in very good view.  A little further
on was activity including a Chestnut-sided Warbler, Blackburnian
Warbler and Northern Parula, along with a female Scarlet Tanager,
and Acadian Flycatcher.  The woods had numerous Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers, which along with the Catbirds, Robins and falling
leaves created a lot of movement.   The birds below were seen on
the short stretch of Weatheredsville Road between Windsor Mill
and Franklintown.   The Yellow Book shows Yellow-rumped
Warblers pretty thin this time of year, so that was a surprise.
Actually, seeing any warblers was a surprise!
