Hey everyone-

I headed out to Cromwell this morning to see if I could re-find Frode's Mourning Warbler from yesterday.  I didn't get out very early, so activity was not at its peak, but I did come across yet another PHILADELPHIA VIREO (I hadn't seen one before two weeks ago, and now I've seen them on my last three trips!), and, after some photo review, I was able to confirm that I did see the MOURNING WARBLER in the weedy shrub by the Lime Kiln.  The Mourning was my 300th species seen in MD, and my 270th in MD this year.
