This morning Bill Schreitz and I saw 3 Seaside Sparrows at Sandy Point State Park.? These birds have been present in this same area since at least May 3rd.? Bill described the area in his previous post as:

"near the fishing jetty that divides the reserved beach area from the beach with the small craft launch ramp."

If you walk the trail north along the beach from the parking lot at the point, look for the row of phragmites and watch for the sparrows feeding along the edge.

The only migrants I saw were 2 Red-eyed Vireos, a Yellow Warbler, and a Black-and-white Warbler.  

Things were much more lively at my grandfather's house in Glen Burnie. 
Red-eyed Vireo - 2
Northern Parula - 1
Magnolia Warbler - 1
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1
Northern Waterthrush - 2
