Howdy!
I spent some time along the C&O Canal this morning, birding for the Allegany County May count. Every stop was pretty active up until about noon.
Some highlights were:
-One PECTORAL SANDPIPER, one unidentified peep, both GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS and a couple SPOTTED SANDPIPERs at North Branch.
-Two GRAY CHEEKED THRUSHES, a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, WARBLING VIREO and a LINCOLN'S SPARROW at the Town Creek Aquaduct
-A nice flock of nine WILD TURKEYS on Wagner Rd., near Warrior Mtn WMA.
Warblers included: NORTHERN PARULA, YELLOW, MYRTLE, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, WORM-EATING, OVENBIRD, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, KENTUCKY, PRAIRIE, BLACK-AND-WHITE, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT
Also, I've seen and/or heard at least one COMMON NIGHTHAWK every night since 5/2 over Cumberland.
Good Birding!
