Highlights of the Fort McHenry Evening Walk included extended viewing of the Western Kingbird, a very brief encounter with a small flock Cedar Waxwings, Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, and two Warbler series. The Yellow Warblers and the Common Yellowthroats were very cooperative on several occasions.
 
The Western Kingbird sat on the fence on the East side of the Fort. It has been seen every morning since Sunday by the Fort staff and visitors.
