Thought I'd report these now, even though I'm still 
counting.  Had a *lifer* CAPE MAY WARBLER (striking male) 
and yard bird BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (also male, great looks) 
in Laurel, PG County this morning.  Those are yard birds #93 
and 94, respectively, after logging #90 (BLACK-THROATED 
BLUE) yesterday, and #91 (WHITE-EYED VIREO) and #92 (YELLOW 
WARBLER---a singing male that hung around for hours and even 
visited the bird bath) this morning.  Wow.  Other new 
migrants to the yard yesterday and today include 
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, WOOD THRUSH, GREAT CRESTED 
FLYCATCHER, EASTERN KINGBIRD, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, 
RED-EYED VIREO, and INDIGO BUNTING.  Also this morning, a 
male SCARLET TANAGER flew through and 2 male ROSE-BREASTED 
GROSBEAKS visited the feeders.  What a day, and it's only 
half done!!
