Tom and I birded Patuxent Wildlife Refuge South today around Cash Lake.  Highlights were many Pine Warblers singing, Tree Swallows, Eastern Phoebe and a single Osprey.  I had a thrush that has me stumped.  It definitely did not appear to be a Hermit to me as it had no rufous qualities to it all.  It had very little spotting on the chest, was a dull gray brown and had a pale-ish cheek along with the eye ring.  One day I will be able to get these!
