Hi everyone,

On the way to Little Bennett Regional Park (upper
Montgomery County) this morning, I heard an Eastern
Meadowlark singing in a field where I haven't heard or
seen them in the past few years. I also heard a Wood
Thrush and a Gray Catbird on the way to the park.

Highlights of a walk at Little Bennett are as follows:

Hooded Warbler (2)
Worm-eating Warbler (2)
Prairie Warbler (2)
Northern Parula (10+)
