This morning I took a quick run over to Cecil County (county list finally  
over 200!).  I first took a leisurely walk down Turkey Point and had the  
following migrants:
 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 12
Warbling Vireo - 1
Red-eyed Vireo - 8 (probably not all migrants)
Nashville Warbler - 1
American Redstart - 3
Black-and-white Warbler - 3
Northern Parula - 1
Magnolia Warbler - 2
Orchard Oriole - 2
Baltimore Oriole - 1
Blue Grosbeak - 1
 
At the Williams Road pond the Baird's put on a great show feeding on  the 
closest mudflat.  I even got a few nice digiscoped pics.  I could  not find any 
Pectorals, Stilt Sands, or Westerns, but the Snowy Egret was a  county bird.  
Only 1 ibis was present.
 
I also walked the wildflower trail at Conowingo for about a half mile  to 
look for the White Pelican.  No pelican, but I did have 2 Northern  Waterthrushes 
and a Blackburnian on the trail.
