I saw 27 Common Loons at Rocky Gap this morning.  There were also 2 SURF 
SCOTERS, 24 Ring-billed Gulls, and 3 Herring Gulls.  There was an 
Orchard Oriole singing in the parking lot and some Myrtle Warblers in 
the little island of trees near the beach.  There was also a 
White-Crowned Sparrow near the island.  There are lots of Tree and Barn 
Swallows around.

At North Branch there were 2 Lesser Yellowlegs and 3 White-crowned Sparrows.

At Piney Reservoir (Garrett County) there were just 3 Red-breasted 
Mergansers, 2 Osprey, a Pied-billed Grebe.  I also saw a Cooper's Hawk 
and heard a Blue-headed Vireo and Louisiana Waterthrush singing over 
near the dam.
