I watched TV later than usual, then got up late, so I decided it was a 
good day to go to one of the places that doesn't open until 8AM.  Chose 
Patuxent N. over the Arboretum for no particular reason, and it turned 
out to be a great choice.  Found many more birds and species there than 
ever before, 56 species in 4 hours.  Because I'm still having lots of 
trouble with my back & leg, I did almost everything from the car, so a 
lot of the IDs were heard-only.

I guess the best bird of the day was a Bay breasted Warbler (heard-only, 
TEE-see TEE-see TEE-see ...).  I'll list the highlights below.

Getting treatment Thursday for the back/leg problem - will get (a) shot 
in the back.  Hope to be able to do more walking next weekend.
