This morning I spent a couple of hours at Middle Patuxent 
Environmental Area in Howard County.  As others have noted, 
migrants were sparse.  Aside from a Swainson's Thrush and a 
few Blackpoll Warblers, I saw and/or heard mainly resident birds.  
The best bird was a KENTUCKY WARBLER singing quite close 
to the loop trail (a short distance before the side trail that goes off 
to the right by marker #2).  I even got a quick glimpse of him before 
he did the disappearing act.  I also heard a LOUISIANA 
WATERTHRUSH singing from the small stream near the road.

I guess it's time to start paying attention to my badly neglected 
garden.
