Jim Green, John Hubbell, and I birded Smoky Rd this morning. The SEDGE
WREN, found by Jared Fisher yesterday, was at the same location. The big
stick which Jared placed in the road was still pointing at the wren. Other
highlights along the path were Worm-eating, Hooded, Blue-winged, and
BLACKPOLL Warblers, Summer Tanager, Blue Grosbeak, and Indigo Bunting.

 Earlier we had tried for the Sedge Wren off Mellwood Rd in PG County but
did not hear or see it.

 Our complete list is below.
