My girlfriend Colleen and I saw some good birds today in Worcester County.

South Point
Collared Dove -- 1

Bayside Community Development

Orange-crowned Warbler -- 1 (county bird 312)
Common Yellowthroat -- 1 (thanks Mikey & Joanna)

Rum Point Golf Course
Great Cormorant -- 1

Eagles Nest
Lesser Yellowlegs -- 1
Willet (western) -- 1

east of Berlin
Manageable flock of blackbirds with good numbers of Common Grackles,
cowbirds, and Red-winged Blackbirds feeding along roadside.

Truitt's Landing
Green-winged Teal -- over 500
Sedge Wren -- 1

EA Vaughn WMA north
Eastern Phoebe -- 1

Rt. 12 in between Snowhill and Old Furnace Town
One massive flock of mostly blackbirds and Robins.  These birds were feeding
in the fields on both sides of Rt. 12 around dusk.  The flock stretched for
almost two miles.  We had an engagement in Salisbury and we were running
late so we didn't stop until I spotted a mostly albino Robin.  Anybody in
the area should check this flock for goodies.  If there is a Yellow-headed
Blackbird or Fieldfare hanging around it would here.
