I was anticipating another quiet day of reading up on medieval Central
Asian history today, but Debbie Terry called yesterday afternoon
suggesting we go to Milford Mill Park (Baltimore Co) since a front was
coming through, which I hadn't really noticed yet. A few hours later
Mark Linardi called with the same idea. So Debbie, Mark, Keith Costley
and I met at Milford Mill at 8:00 this morning and it was indeed very
good. We outdid last Tuesday with 15 species of warbler, plus an
Olive-sided Flycatcher. It was so active right at the start of the
trail (streamside) that we didn't get further than about 50 yards for
a half-hour or more. Our warblers were:
Blue-winged Warbler 1
Nashville Warbler 1
Chestnut-sided Warbler ~10
Magnolia Warbler ~8
Black-throated Blue Warbler 3
Black-throated Green Warbler 1
Blackburnian Warbler 1
Prairie Warbler 1
Blackpoll Warbler 1
Black-and-white Warbler ~5
American Redstart ~5
Worm-eating Warbler 1 or 2
Ovenbird 1
Northern Waterthrush 1
Canada Warbler ~5
Also
Olive-sided Flycatcher 1
Empidonax flycatchers 4-5, with varying appearances, Yellow-bellied
and Least seeming possible among them.
Wood Thrush 1 (on the upland part of the trail, which was pretty quiet
compared to the streamside part.)
Baltimore Oriole 3-5
Scarlet Tanager 1
And it's not even September.
