Bill et all,

I just got back from a half an hour at Greenbury in search of the BB
Cuckoos.  No luck, but I did manage to find a MOURNING WARBLER in the
brush about fifteen feet from the duck blind on the Bobwhite Loop.
The Brown Thrasher, Cooper's Hawk, Indigo Buntings, Redstarts,
Carolina Wrens, Field Sparrows and Common Yellowthroats filled out the
remainder of the notable birds.

Being that I had my wife and son with me, the marsh loop was off
limits due to tick fears.  It was paved trail or no trail!

Good Birding,

Dan Haas
West Annapolis, MD

I also saw several Magnolia Warblers, a Redstart, and good looks at atleast one Wilson's Warbler.  Along the marsh a quiet flycatcher was actively working the phragmites and low bushes.  The head was clearly rounded and the eye ring was prominent only behind the eye.  I did take two photos (archival quality only) and will send for anyone iterested.

This was also the site of the Alder Flycatcher, heard first by Tom Feild and Leo Weigant last Sunday morning.
