Perhaps, but then Stan's Swan Creek bird really throws a wrench in that discussion.  The possibility of three Maryland birds (4 if that departed Delaware bird flew West to Cecil), is simply awesome to consider.  

New birds in the neighborhood / yard today:
BLUE-WINGED 
NASHVILLE
Northern Waterthrush
BTBlue 3
BTGreen 2
YT & WE Vireo 
Prairie 
and finally, three houses down a singing CERULEAN!

Good Birding,

Dan Haas
