Greetings,

I have been attempting, lately, to increase my birding frequency, albeit
though with little success. I may even actually get out for more then an
hour or two tomorrow morning!  Regardless, This past wednes day I had a
chance to spend an hour at Turkey Point in Cecil County.  My speceis count
that morning was relativly low but there were tons of birds flitting
around. those included loads of Blackburnian Warblers, as well as, Pine,
Redstart, Black and White, and one Yellow-throated Warbler. Hoards of
Pewees and empids were around too.  Also noted were Scarlet Tanager, Yellow-
billed Cuckoo, White-eyed, Red-eyed, and Yellow-throated Vireo.  I rounded
out that day with a juvenile Barred Owl vocalizing on my father-in-law's
propery on Hances Point south of North East, MD (Thanks Hans ;)).

This afternoon I spent an hour wondering around the Edgewood Area of APG in
southern Harford County. Here I did not find a lot of movement but I did
manage to call a juevie Blue-headed Vireo into the open. Plenty of swifts
in the sky too but alas no Night-hawks...

Good Birding,
