During a brief stop at Rockburn Branch Park (Howard County), I flushed a 
striking adult WCSP from the cinder path behind the tennis courts. It perched 
nicely for a good look.

There was little warbler activity -- it was mid day -- but near the 
footbridge over the stream there were two BTB's, and one HOODED and one KENTUCKY 
singing as if on territory. Numerous White-eyed Vireos and Wood Thrushes were 
singing, and one Veery called and was briefly seen.

On Saturday evening I had a remarkable new yard bird, at least, remarkable 
for my yard. A Baltimore Oriole was whistling around the neighborhood and 
actually perched briefly in my wispy young red oak. Not one that I expected.
