Hello,
	On Saturday, I made a return visit to the Henson Scout Reservation near Sharptown.  Overall, the amount of activity was less than my previous visit on 5/29.  The numbers of YB Cuckoo and Cedar Waxwing had dropped considerably, though both were still present.  Managed to get a fair number of repeat singers to upgrade many species to probable.  Once the wind started up, the amount of singing really dropped off.  The best bird was a singing PARULA, about 1/4 mile south of where I saw a female previously (on Rhodesdale SE).  And now within safe dates, this makes an excellent record for Dorchester Co.  Also, Brown-headed Nuthatches upgraded to Probable nearby.  A Cooper's Hawk flew over the HQ parking lot for a new species.
	Dana Teague of the Henson staff was kind enough to take me out on the Marshyhope.  We covered 5 or 6 river miles up to about a mile north of the Brookview Bridge.  The results were disappointingly meager - 100 Laughing Gulls (feeding at one spot about a mile upriver), 1 Bald Eagle, 3 Osprey, 1 Cooper's Hawk (mobbed by swallows at the Brookview Bridge), 1 female Wood Duck, 1 female Mallard, 0 geese, 0 Forster's Terns, 0 Kingfisher, 0 swallows away from the bridge and 0 confirmations.  	There are no channel markers on the Marshyhope and, therefore, no easy Osprey nests.  Under the Brookview Bridge, several of the Cliff Swallow nests apparent on the outside of the bridge have vanished (there was possibly some recent concrete repair done to the bridge).  However, we did find at least 4 more potential nests attached to drainpipes / bottom of the bridge deck between the girders, but did not try to stay in one spot long enough to see if they were active.  For swallows, this block is backward from most in the area.  In order of ease to find would be Barn, Cliff, Bank, Martin, then Tree and Rough-winged.
	Afterwards, I stopped at the Brookview borrow pit.  Bank Swallows are still in evidence, but the Kingfisher pair was not.  The surprise was a TUNDRA SWAN.  It was missing most of the primaries on one wing, so it was either an injured bird or had a clipped wing.  I also stopped at the Indiantown Rd pig farm.  There was 1 Ring-billed Gull among several thousand Laughers, the usual attendant vultures (both) and fledgling Killdeer.
	But all in all, this block is coming into shape with 84 species and an adequate numbers of probables and confirms.  My public thanks to the Henson Scout Reservation for allowing me access.  The block total has jumped from 64 species beginning the season with most species added there.

Good Birding,
