I realllllly wanted to go birding this beautiful morning but
at least I could work from home for a bit. Got nice looks
at a male BLACKPOLL WARBLER and a male COMMON YELLOWTHROAT
in the yard (nr. Laurel, PG County). Also had
BLACK-AND-WHITE and YELLOW-RUMPED warblers singing.
Other migrants included GRAY CATBIRD at the suet feeder, and
a WOOD THRUSH, HOUSE WREN, and BALTIMORE ORIOLE singing. A
surprise was a flyover GREAT BLUE HERON. A well-coiffed
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW is still hanging around.
Back to work... :P
