As participants in the fund-raising birdathon for Chesapeake Audubon, Ruth Bergstrom, Kye Jenkins, and I birded all day at three locations: Susquehanna State Park, Swan Harbor, and Harford Glen. We spent most of the time at Susq--a couple hours each at Swan and Glen. We had 24 warbler species, all but one at Susq. Many other nice birds. A total of 106 species, beating what we did a year ago by one. Lots of little highlights--best just to list the warblers and some other birds. (The entrance area to the picnic area at Susq was especially good.) Complete list soon to be posted at Audubon website. Non-Susq birds are HG (Harford Glen) and SH (Swan Harbor).
