What a great migration day again at Turkey Point.
 Parke John, Peter Mann and I met up with the Baltimore County Bird Club 
and had a real nice morning.
Its not my place to give the field trip results. I am sure that will come.
 But I still feel it necessary to relay what I had. Highlights for me were, 
 Broad-wing Hawks, Sharpies,
Coopers, Ospreys, Bald Eagles.
In the Passerine Department we had Red- breasted Nuthatch, Many Empidonax Flycatchers,
Pewee, Great-crested Flycatcher, Veery, Wood Thrush, Philadelphia Vireo, 
Blue headed Vireo, Red-
eyed Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, 
14 Species of Warbler, including, Blackburnian, 
Chestnut-sided, Cape May, Black-throated Blue,
Black-throated Green, Redstart, Black and White, Magnolia, Parula, 
Wilson's, Bay-breasted, Pine,Tennessee, and Common Yellowthroat.
Others birds include,
Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Bobolink, and Indigo Bunting.

Later in the day, at Meadow Park in Elkton, 
Great Egret 1
Great-blue Heron 4
Little-blue Heron  1
Peregrine Falcon 1
Northern Harrier  1

Happy Birding.
