Hi All,

I did some field work in Saint Mary's CO today, after I finished, I
made a quick stop at Point Lookout State Park, there was a lot of
migrant activity in the vicinity of the large antennae/ weather
station thing just north of the true point, highlighted by a
BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER.  The highlight of the visit was a flyby AMERICAN
OYSTERCATCHER that I saw as I was leaving the park, I noticed a large
bird flying offshore, I got my bins on it, then was able to get some
poor but identifiable pictures as it continued south, my first Western
Shore AMOY!
