Hi all,
I started off the morning at Wheaton Regional hoping the Conn Warbler would stick around; it wasn't seen by myself and several birders. Did get the Red breasted Nuthatch by the dog run. Black throated Blue Warblers put on quite a show, they were everywhere!
Later, I went over to Aspen Hill to see what was around there. I mostly birded off trail in a place I call "the slough' because it is almost always wet and swampy. Found a small flock of 5 Hermit Thrushes foraging in the beech tree woods, and a Rusty Blackbird in the swampy area.
Here is a list of other species observed and/or heard:
