Hi all --

It was a bit cloudy this morning as well as cool which undoubtedly slowed
down bird activity. However some migrants were still around at Brookside
Gardens and Wheaton Regional Park. Best birds were a bright LINCOLN's
SPARROW in the Park and (when we got home) a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH in our
pine trees (these have been *very* thin on the ground this year.)

Birds of interest:

Pied Bill Grebe - 1
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 1
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Gray Catbird - 3
American Robin - 200+
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 8
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 10
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH - 1 (Colesville yard)
BLUE-HEADED VIREO - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 1
Cedar Waxwing - 6
White-throated Sparrow - 25+
