H all --
Early vet's appointment meant only time for about an hour at Brookside
Gardens and Wheaton Regional Park (which, being 5 minutes from our home, is
our back-up when we can't get to Rock Creek!).
Pretty quiet as expected with this settled weather, most birds seen were
probably off-passage. No sign of Saturday's Philly Vireo. Nevertheless a few
migrants and other birds of interest:
Green Heron - 2
Belted Kingfisher - 1
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 2
Eastern Wood-pewee - 2
Red-eyed Vireo - 3
Gray Catbird - 35+ (!)
Wood Thrush - 1
Black-and-White Warbler - 2
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1
Magnolia Warbler - 7
Redstart - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 2
Chipping Sparrow - 4
Plus the usual...
