While walking into work today from the parking lot to the control tower at BWI I found a Hooded Warbler. The odd thing about this was the bird was INSIDE the terminal building. I was walking through the area between terminal D and terminal E, the international terminal, when I saw what looked like a small toy laying on the floor next to the wall. When I looked again I realized the object was actually a male Hooded Warbler. I walked up to the bird and picked it up and the bird then carried on quite noisily. I assumed the bird might have exhausted itself trying to leave the building so I took it outside and released it. The bird then flew to the pavement and ran back into the building through an open doorway. The bird was trapped between the inner and outer doors of the entrance way so I recaptured the bird. Upon closer inspection I realized that the bird's right eye was closed and a small amount of blood was visible on the feathers between the eye and the bill.  The bird must have flown into the windows and injured itself. I took the warbler to an employee of the Maryland Airport Authority that monitors the bird populations on the field. She was going to contact a rehabilitator to have the bird cared for. I know have 2 species for my BWI Terminal list (House Sparrow was the other).
