Some FOY birds for Nancy and me today at Antietam Battlefield in Washington
County. A Prairie Warble and Vesper Sparrow were found singing from their
usual perches, and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird gave us a flyby. (We also had
our first hummingbird come to our feeder, today.)
Also new for the year for us were Great-crested Flycatcher, and
Black-throated Green Warbler.
