Hi All,

I spent a bit of time running around Garrett this morning before work,
there was plenty of activity among all of the recently arrived
breeders.  Some of the highlights were 13 species of warbler, a couple
of LEAST FLYCATCHERS, and 3 winnowing/ treetop perching WILSON'S SNIPE
at Finzel.  Also yesterday at one of our field sites in Washington
County, I saw a WARBLING VIREO, and last night, I heard 5
WHIP-POOR-WILLS on Big Savage Mountain.  Complete list below-
