The first Saturday of every month, Prince George's Audubon sponsors a
field trip at the Fran Uhler Natural Area.  The location is in Prince
George's County, along the Patuxent River adjacent to Bowie State
University.  

The trip, lead by Bill Sefton, is always enjoyable; this morning's
tally, including a few species seen before the official starting time,
was just over 60 species, not bad considering we found only five
migrants -- Myrtle Warblers, White-throated Sparrows, Cormorants,
Laughing Gulls, and

The highlight was not a first of season but will probably be my last of
season, a single, RUSTY BLACKBIRD in one of the wetlands near the end of
Lemons Bridge Road.  Another late bird, though probably nesting in the
area, was a Brown Creeper.

The resident species were the stars with seven species of warblers,
three vireos, Wood Thrushes, Scarlet Tanager and Indigo Buntings
conspiring to make it a colorful trip.
