I took a look at the Google map and it looks like our NAWA straddled the MD/WV line, going from one state to the other. Also, it looks like the "John Deere" sign was placed atop the regular street sign of Lakeford. We had another very brief look at a NAWA at Swallow Falls, but it was high. The bird was singing, but I could only just verify what it was. Unfotunately, we did not hear  the one at Cranesville Swamp.

Hey

Last weekend we had a Nashville Warbler at TNC's Cranesville Swamp reserve. We found it at the far side of the board walk (10am-ish). It was definitely on a territory, and circled around us, calling (so please don't use playback). Many times it was calling at the top of a conifer. Learn the call before you go and you should find it.
