This evening I observed an adult CONNECTICUT WARBLER at Governor 
Bridge Natural Area in PG County. The bird was on the east side of the 
big pond, near a smaller pond in the woods. I had been standing in that 
spot getting attacked by mosquitoes for almost 20 minutes seemingly 
checking the same Chestnut-sideds over and over when right before I was 
about to leave I noticed a chunky gray-hooded bird with a bold white 
complete eye ring walking along a thin tree branch with its mouth open. 
Awesome!
