After a few restful days of no birding whatsoever, I ventured out to 
the Blue Mash Birding Trail in northern Montgomery County at about 
8:30 a.m. this morning.  In an hour and half birding I neither saw 
nor heard ANY migrants!

On the other hand, some of the local breeding species were present in 
good numbers, particularly:  22 GRAY CATBIRDS, 11 YELLOW WARBLERS, 9 
COMMON YELLOWTHROATS and in particular 5 WILLOW FLYCATCHERS (all up 
and singing).  Also of note were 1 Yellow-breasted Chat and at least 
5 Orchard Orioles.

Good Birding
