Hello all. 

This afternoon-evening provided for 3 hours of EXCELLENT birding at 
Weinberg Park in Pasadena, northern Anne Arundel County. 14 warbler species 
were noted including BLACKBURNIAN(!), MAGNOLIA, HOODED and REDSTART. Also, 
both BLACK-BILLED and YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS were seen as were Orchard 
Orioles and three species of Vireo. Three ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS also made 
a surprise appearance. Most of the Warblers were found by walking along 
Fairview Beach Road, between Ft. Smallwood Road and Dauses Lane.  In all, 
it was one fun trip.
