I enjoyed leading my first trip for MBC yesterday. Some highlights:

Riley's Lock:
Lesser Scaup 1
Bufflehead 2
Blue-winged Teal and a Common Merganser flyby
Barred Owl
Great-crested Flycatcher
Red-eyed Vireo
Prothonotary Warbler
Louisiana Waterthrush
N Parulas

Montevideo Rd:
Prairie Warbler
Indigo Bunting

near intersection of Montevideo and Sugarland Rds
BOBOLINK 3, on fruit trees near pond on Homestead farm property
Eastern Meadowlark
Grasshopper, Savannah, White-crowned and White-throated Sparrow (part of 
9 sparrow day that also included towhee, Chipping, Field, Song and Swamp)
American Kestrel

Dry Seneca Crk horse trails (either side of Sugarland Rd)
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT 2
Lots of Yellow Warblers, Common Yellowthroats and White-eyed Vireos.

Dry Seneca Crk/Seneca Crk horse trail:
Pretty slow at mid-day but we did have a Blue-headed Vireo and a 
Black-throated Green, Prairie Warbler, N Parula, and a Solitary Sandpiper

Went over to Watt's Branch this morning for a short time.  Very slow 
with only a B and W  Warbler,  a  few Yellow-rumps,  Purple  Finches,  
Wood  Thrush and Orchard Oriole.  Ran into Paul O'brien, who said that 
with the exception of a Nashville Warbler yesterday, things have been 
pretty slow.
