Tumbleweeds rolledacross the warbler pages of my yellowbook until this
morning's trip to UMBC. Inspired by Frode's post of the last few days, I
popped out of bed for a quick trip to see what I could find. Lo and behold-
ten minutes after plugging quarters into the meter, I found Frode scanning
the pond across the street from the lot. I really appreciate the impromptu
tutoring session- I would have missed several of these species without
Frode's help. 

It was a very (or should I say "veery") sucsessful morning for me. I'm sure
more experienced eyes and ears could find more- but I made out like a bandit.
