Blue Mash Nature Trail, Zion Road Section, Montgomery County, 27 Apr 08, 0715-0945
 
Great birding at Blue Mash this morning despite the significantly cooler and overcast weather.  Best bird was a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO (BMNT List #159), both seen and heard in the stand of trees next to the parking area.   Forty-one species tallied to include the following notable birds:
 
White-eyed Vireo - 1 (FOY)
Wood Thrush - 3 (heard only - FOY)
Yellow Warbler - 3
Common Yellowthroat - 8
Yellow-breasted Chat - 2 (FOY)
Rusty Blackbird - 1
Orchard Oriole - 1 (FOY)
