Eight fine birders joined me today for the Baltimore Bird Club�s trip to
Soldiers Delight NEA (Natural Environment Area). We were graced with the
company of El Presidente Ultimo. That�s the last time we carry anyone three
(plus) miles!

Highlights: A male SUMMER TANAGER! Fourteen warbler species: Nashville,
Chestnut Sided, Black-throated Blue, Mytle, Black-throated Green, Pine,
Prairie, Palm (Western), Black-and-white, Worm-eating, Ovenbird, Common
Yellowthroat, Hooded, and Yellow-breasted Chat (heard only). Two
Red-breasted Nuthatch foraged in the scrub pines on the East side of Deer
Park Road. Veery, and Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

The birding was great; but, company was better. Thank you for coming along.
