Hello All,

Sorry or the lateness of this report, but this is the first available time I have had to do so. Late Tuesday evening, I and two other birders were at the Daniel's Run Section of Patapsco Valley State Park. We birding the trail following the river and saw the following -

Cedar Waxings (20+)
Chimney Swifts (15+)
Blue Grosbeak (1)
CANADA WARBLER (1)
Ovenbird (1)
CONNECTICUT WARBLER (1)
An unidentified Warbler - Too dark to see

The CONECTICUT WARBLER was found in a low bush with a lot of cover, right next to the river's edge. We sat and waited for 10-15 minutes to get a good look at him. Eventually he gave my friend a completley exposed look at him, whereas me and our other friend got nice brief looks. We saw the distict eyering as well as the very drab yellow and gray neck/head. Then it flew off to the other side of the river. It certainly was NOT it's very similiar family members the Nashville or Mourning.

Good Birding
Ben
