Hello all.

The Fort Smallwood Bird Club had its monthly walk on Sunday 5/18.  Good 
numbers of warblers and a lot of fun.  We also found a Louisiana Waterthrush, 
shich is actually a new species for the park. Lisa Strobel called 
out "waterthrush!" and I had  a good look at it and had to call it as a 
Louisiana. 

The WILSON'S WARBLER was located in brush across the brush from the south 
end of the pond, a few of us got good looks at it as it told us to say hello to 
Bill Hubick (sorry Bill, couldn't resist).
