Hi all,
I joined Bill Hubick and Jim Green for a day of birding in
Washington County with a brief foray into Frederick. We put a little
bit of an emphasis on shorebirds and marsh birds, but we still made
out well overall. We ended up with 110 species for the day including
108 in Washington and 20 warbler species (plus hybrids). Here are some
