Since I arrived fairly early I started the day at Sycamore Landing 
along the Potomac looking for Cerulean Warblers.  Didn't find any, but heard 
one "parulean" warbler. Birds of note were a Spotted Sandpiper, two 
Blackpoll Warblers and a pair of prothonotaries near milepost 27.
     Then I went to the eastern part of McKee-Beshers to check the upland 
forest and more of the floodplain- an area I seldom visit.  Found 3 of the 4 
of this area's specialties- Pine Warbler, Ovenbird and La. Waterthrush. 
Missed the Worm-eating Warbler.  I was surprised to find 2 singing Kentucky 
Warblers- a species in decline everywhere.  Migrants were 2 more blackpolls 
and a Bay-breasted Warbler.  There were also 3 Grasshopper Sparrows singing 
in the large field north of the entrance sign.
      Finished the day at the main impoundments where I found one Great 
Egret.  I refound the three Canada Goose broods that have been here this 
month but didn't see Friday.  It is interesting to follow the predation on 
these birds. Brood size when I first saw them was 8, 7 and 5.  Now it is 8, 
3, and 3.
     My best find of the day wasn't even birds.  It was 2 tombstones in the 
woods.  The inscriptions were worn so I couldn't tell who they were.
