Greetings,
Yesterday when I ot off of work (8AM) I found a good mix of migrant
passerines moving through my yard in Cecil County. I heard our saw Black-
throated Blue Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-rumped Warbler,
Northern Parula, Yelow-throated Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Baltimore Oriole,
Blue Groasbeak, Eastern Phoebe, House Wren, and Chipping Sparrow. The Blue
Grosbeak is a new yard bird (#131).
After checking around the yard I went up to the Fair Hill area to look for
Sean McCandless' Orange-crowned Warbler. Depstite looking for 2 hours or so
I was unable to come up with the bird. However I did find some good birds
in the vicinity. There were Prairie Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler,
Ovenbird, Black and White Warbler, Northern Parula, Baltimore Oriole,
Eastern Meadowlark, Bobolink (heard distantly), House Wren, Broad-winged
Hawk, Catbird, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Towhee, and Great-crested Flycatcher.
Good Birding,
