Folks

I went out about 8 AM to the Old Port Tobacco Courthouse (PT) area in Charles County.  It was pretty birdy until about 10 AM.  I then wandered around the area (Chapel Point State Park, Nitza Farm, Allen's Fresh) until I got hungry.

Nitza Farm (new for the day):

10 Killdeer at that turf farm - this spot will be checked again on Tuesday
Magnolia Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
American Goldfinch - 40+

Canada Goose (35+) and a few Red-winged Blackbirds were the only species at Allen's Fresh.  It was high tide.

Yard birds of late:

Great-horned Owl on Sept. 24.
Red-breasted Nuthatch on Sept. 25 (3rd for the season)
Wood Thrush each day for four days

On Saturday, Sept. 25 I found my first Yellow-rumped "Myrtle" Warbler of the season (#125 for September) at a mitigation pond in Waldorf.  There was a Magnolia Warbler also present.  This location looks like it could be a good shorebird spot.  Hopefully, some tropical depression birds will show up on Tuesday.

Bird on!

P.S.  A day in Charles County without a Bald Eagle.  That's unusual.
