Hi all,

 Went to Blue Mash Nature Trail in Olney this morning (10amish) to see what migrants were moving through.  Pretty birdy
given the warm weather.  The two ponds, big & small are quite full with water.  Upon viewing the big pond, I heard a Yellow breasted Chat
singing from the other side, first of year bird. Also heard and saw several Yellow Warblers. I have a feeling there were more birds, hiding...
