I returned to Liberty Watershed this afternoon to look for the SUMMER TANAGER again. I first heard it singing about 12:30. I was joined later by Bill Hubick. The tanager continued singing and calling at irregular intervals at the same location as yesterday. It ranged quite far but in the same general area as yesterday. Bill got a few obstructed-view photos. The location is along the Morgan Run section of the lake, east and north of the Route 32 bridge. There is a parking area here at the beginning of the fire trail. Along the fire trail a few minutes walk east of the road is major curve to the right that takes the trail around a ravine. The Summer Tanager has been frequenting this area as well as a little farther along the trail.
   The only transient we saw while there was a NIGHTHAWK flying over. With the reservoir now full Bill reported to me that a MUTE SWAN has returned to the area off Bollinger Mill Road where they have nested in the past. This area was dry a month ago.
   I also walked the area of the watershed off Pine Knob Road and had a close view of a pair of Kentucky Warblers but no transient migrants. Still no sign of Tennessee, Nashville, Cape May, Blackburnian, Bay-breasted, Mourning, and Wilson's Warblers in Carroll County yet with only single sightings of Chestnut-sided and Canada. But the Summer Tanager is a fair trade for a lack of migrants.
