	Had a two second-view of a Northern Bobwhite at Greenbury Point, Annapolis, MD on the morning of Tuesday, 5/31. It flew low over the ground as I approached and disappeared into cover. Heard several others calling.
	First one I've seen in years and, I read, a declining species.
	Greenbury Point is on US Naval Academy property, across the Severn River from the Academy proper, and open to the public. Easily identifiable by the three (abandoned, I believe) tall communications towers.


	Other species seen included:

	Yellow-breasted chat
	Field Sparrow
	House Sparrow
	White-eyed Vireo (heard)
	Common Yellowthroat (numerous, calling)
	Cedar Waxwing
	Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher
	Blue Grosbeak
	Indigo Bunting
	Eastern Kingbird
	American Goldfinch
	Northern Mockingbird
	Osprey
	Red-Winged Blackbird
	Tree Swallow
	Barn Swallow
	Eastern Bluebird
	Double-crested Cormorant
	Turkey Vulture
	Starling
	Northern Cardinal


	Good Birding!
