After returning from a trip to Smith Island, we decided to  look for the 
Blue-winged Warblers which had been seen by others in the  morning. We spent 
about an hour in the wooded / brushy area of Point  Lookout State Park north 
of the picnic area and found not only a couple of  Blue-wingeds but also a 
pale but unmistakable Canada Warbler and an amazing  number of American 
Redstarts. At one point we had two breeding-plumage males and  five female or 
young (sorry - need to learn the difference) Redstarts bathing in  a puddle on 
the trail. A female Hooded Warbler was in a nearby sapling and two  
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were hovering over the puddle. A very bright yellow  
oriole, presumed to be a Baltimore, was perched on top of a tree but didn't stay 
 for photos. Our eBird list is below.
