Hi everyone,
I spent a couple hours birding Milltown Landing in Southern PG County this morning. The big highlight was a MOURNING WARBLER. I found it close to the parking area. If you start walking back to the road from where you park, there is a little wooded area on the left with a lot of brush on the edge. It was in there, just past the abandoned little house behind the parking area.
My other big highlight was a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW. It was my first in two weeks and very well my last for the season. I capitalize it because it is one day past the late migration date.
