Location:     Oxbow Lake
Observation date:     4/23/10
Notes:     Jay Sheppard visited the Little Patuxent Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve 
earlier this morning, and then I joined him around 4pm for another look. He had 
the COMMON YELLOWTHROAT this morning and found the BLUE-HEADED VIREO this 
afternoon. The water in the lake seems to be rising as the mudflats are 
diminishing a bit. The beavers haven't repaired their old dam, so we are 
investigating possible new construction.
