I took the day off work and birded Turkey Point for the first time - 
what a cool spot.  So much better than spending the morning in a cube.  
I loved watching the birds round the point at the lighthouse - 
especially the large Blue Jay flocks that would make an instant U-turn 
as soon as they could see the water past the trees.  Out of the dozens 
of warblers that rounded the point between 8 and 9am, most of them 
appeared to be Magnolia, American Redstart and Black-throated Green.  I 
know there were others - though I'm not very good at this yet ; )  The 
most surprising bird of the morning was a female Purple Finch - my 
earliest.  When I left the accipters were just starting to stream 
through, so I'm sure the hawkcounters will have a good day.

1 Eastern Screech-Owl
1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird

I birded Swan Harbor Farm on the way home, but the only birds of note 
were a small flock of Bobolinks.  The pond/wetland was dry except for 
one small birdless puddle.
