I had the opportunity to do a little birding at Ocean City's Northside Park
on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 13. In the small stand of pines on the north end
of the park, I was pleased to find this assortment:

Brown Creeper (1)

Brown-headed Nuthatch (1)

Palm Warbler (1)

Golden-crowned Kinglets (estimate 5)

Yellow-rumped Warblers (estimate 5-8)

 

And, I realize this is a little off-topic, but on a quick trip around
Chincoteague on Sunday afternoon (Oct. 14), we saw a flock of 150+ Black
Skimmers (juvenile and mature), as well as nearly 100 dowitchers on Swan
Cove. Since my chauffeur was not a birder, I was not able to take much time
to study the dowitchers. So, if anyone on this list happened to see this
same flock, I would appreciate any confirmation of the dowitchers. (I was
particularly delighted to see the Black Skimmers, since it has been a few
years since I'd spotted them in Ocean City, MD.)
