Hi all --

I had an early doctor's appointment on Shady Grove Rd. in Rockville this morning so couldn't get out birding.  But I still had a nice bird -- leaving the office & walking back to my car I heard a Cape May Warbler singing in a small maple beside the parking lot. I squeaked at him and he flew very close to me, so I could enjoy all the details of his brilliant plumage without binoculars. We looked at each other for a few moments and then he flew off. I heard him singing away as I continued to my car.
