I led a small group from the Carroll County Bird Club to Fort Smallwood
Park in Anne Arundel County yesterday morning. I was joined by Maureen &
Dave Harvey, and Don Jewell. It was very birdy for passerines. There was
little action over the bay with a distant Black Tern being the only notable
bird. With overcast skies there were few hawks to be seen; a Kestrel and a
highflying Osprey being the only likely migrants.
   Other migrants scattered throughout the park:
Great Egret  1, flying toward the harbor
Chimney Swift  10
*Red-headed Woodpecker* - 1 adult in trees along the beach
Pewee  1
Unidentified Empidonax  1
Red-eyed Vireo  3
House Wren  1
Catbird  5
Black-&-white Warbler  1
*Connecticut Warbler -* 1 immature, seen well, perhaps the best view I have
ever had of one as it was mostly in an open area
Yellowthroat  5
Redstart  3
Cape May Warbler  4
Parula  2
Bay-breasted Warbler  1
Blackburnian Warbler  1
Yellow Warbler  1
Western Palm Warbler  2
Pine Warbler  3, still singing
Chipping Sparrow  35
Indigo Bunting  1

Later Don and I stopped at Fort Armistead Park. The only bird we added there
was a Magnolia Warbler.
