This morning Dave Curson and I took a tour of Patterson Park in Baltimore
City to see what migrants would turn up. We were able to find 37 species
including 4 GREAT EGRETS, a single CASPIAN TERN (which is annual at the
park), and a first of the year singing YELLOW WARBLER. There were also a
good number of BROWN THRASHERS in the park, with an estimate of 10 total
birds chasing and chattering about. Complete list follows:
