Eileen, here's information about an upcoming Howard Bird Club field trip that might net you both species you are needing for your life list. 

http://howardbirds.org/howard/hcevents.htm
June 4, Saturday, Patuxent River State Park-Hipsley Mill Rd, 7:30 a.m. 2 - 3 hours
Meet at 7:30 am at the Glenwood Community Center to carpool to the site
Joint Montgomery and Howard County Chapters trip. We will walk downriver with our main target being breeding Cerulean Warblers along the Howard / Montgomery border. Other notable nesting birds include American Woodcock, Yellow-throated Vireo, Veery, American Redstart, Worm-eating Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, and Hooded Warbler. Moderate to possibly difficult walking with steep trails, waist high wet vegetation, and muddy trails, so wear appropriate footwear. Hand clippers can be valuable to cut the Multiflora Rose canes which are difficult to avoid. No facilities. Leaders - Joe Hanfman, auk1844 AT comcast NET net Jim Moore, epiphenomenon9 AT gmail DOT com

Blue-winged Warblers have been reported in the Hiplsey Mill Road area in the month of May and the breed at the nearby Annapolis Rock Road.

Directions: http://howardbirds.org/howard/directions.htm
Closest street address: 17400 Annapolis Rock Rd, Woodbine, MD 21797

From the Annapolis Rock Road parking lot looking south, take the trail on the right. You should start hearing/seeing Blue-winged Warblers almost immediately.
