This morning at Cylburn Arboretum (Baltimore City) Mark Linardi and I 
had 3 first-of-year species -- at least FOY for me:
Barn Swallow - 1
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 2 (finally!)
Palm Warbler (yellow) - 1

Also:
Chipping Sparrows - galore! - 10-20
E Phoebe - just 1 for me, suggesting the big wave has already passed
Pileated Woodpecker - 1 at the big tree in front of the mansion later 
flying into the woods.

The weather felt almost hot! The flowers and especially the flowering 
trees were pretty wonderful. It should be nice for the Baltimore Bird 
Club walk tomorrow at 8:30 which I'll have to miss.
