Afternoon all,

I spent the day at Patuxent Park Jug Bay (PG county) for work and had a 
few nice birds of note. There was a very vocal Hooded Warbler up near 
the visitor's center building (down slope of the extra parking lot); a 
Black-Billed Cuckoo (heard from the fishing pier) and two Least 
Bitterns; one near the fishing pier and the other wayyyyy upstream like 
you were headed for the Billingsley (?) house.We also saw a female 
Bufflehead one bend deeper in from the second Least Bittern. Greg Kearns 
took our staff and the teachers we are training for a great boat ride 
and put on a program about a little of everything. If you've never been 
there take the time to go, you won't regret the visit.

Good birding,
