Hello all--

I spent the morning casually birding Patapsco Valley State Park, McKeldin Area 
(portions of the White, Blue, and Purple Trails), looking for migrants missing 
from my year list. Unfortunately, there were none that were identifiable (had a 
definite "Traill's" Flycatcher, but he wasn't wearing a name tag). Still, a nice 
morning with lots thrushes- about 20 SWAINSON'S, with some singing and 
calling. Also 10 species of warbler, including a BAY-BREASTED.
