From Jim Peters at Fort McHenry:

A female Prairie Warbler and 3 Palm Warblers (1 Eastern, 2 Western) have
been found at Fort McHenry.  For the last 8 days the Prairie has been
feeding near the wetland trail.  The warblers are now staying close to each
other and seem to be finding plenty of insect food.

A couple of days ago an American Bittern showed up in the wetland area.  Jim
is seeing it daily.

There is no scheduled walk this weekend; but you can look out over the
wetland from the fort grounds.
