Hi Everyone, 

I spent a great day birding in Harford and Cecil Counties with Ed Boyd, Jim Brighton, Hans Holbrook, and Jim Stasz. While migrant numbers weren't too high, we kicked up quite a few good birds over the course of the day. Our highlights included UPLAND SANDPIPER in Harford Co. and PHILADELPHIA VIREO, EMPIDs, and WARBLERs in Cecil Co. Below are most of our birds of note. I've also posted a few photos at http://www.billhubick.com/new_set.html.
