Hi all,

Had lots of migrants this morning at Gov. Bridge Natural Area in PG county.
There was an enormous migrant flock down on the river trail that I enjoyed
for over a half and hour.  I was able to get my bins on:

Black-throated blue 4
Black-throated green 3
Canada 6
Hooded 2 (1 singing)
Prothonotory 2
Parula 2
Ovenbird 1
Black and White 3
Chestnut Sided 1
Redstart 2
Wood thrush 3
Empid spp. 2
Acadian fly. 1 (sang)
Pewee 2
White-eyed vireo 1
Red-eyed vireo 2

On the walk back to the car I heard a little call note that I did not
recognize and then saw a yellow bird sink down into the thick vegetation and
disappear in a manner that made me think connecticut or mourning.  I could
not relocate this bird even though I know it never left. I am certainly
going to try again tomorrow.

Good Birding,
Chris Murray
