Today's foray with Debbie Terry was supposed to be an early atlasing trip to the Sparrows Point NE block but it turned into a bonanza of migrant warblers and thrushes. The sight of a Lincoln's Sparrow and a Gray-cheeked Thrush feeding on the ground together was particularly notable. Seen or heard were:
Veery 2

Swainson's Thrush 4
Tennessee Warbler 1 heard

Yellow Warbler 1
Chestnut-sided Warbler 2, male & female

Later, while atlasing in the Liberty Watershed off Poole Road in Carroll County there were 1 Pine Warbler, 2 Louisiana Waterthrushes, 2 Kentucky Warblers, 1 Hooded Warbler, and a Gray-cheeked Thrush.
