Hi All,

Had a shift this afternoon, so you get a report of what was out and about in and around the zoo!

Canada Goose 1
Ring-billed Gull 2 
Great Black-backed Gull 5
Mourning Dove 2
Chimney Swift 30
Red-bellied Woodpecker 1
Downy Woodpecker 1
Eastern Wood-pewee 1
Acadian Flycatcher 3
Great-crested Flycatcher 1
Eastern Kingbird 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
American Crow 3
Barn Swallow 4
Tufted Titmouse 1
Carolina Chickadee 2
Carolina Wren 1
American Robin 6 (one partial-albino) 
Wood Thrush 1
European Starling 2
Cedar Waxwing 5
Blackpoll Warbler 1
Northern Cardinal 2
Indigo Bunting 1
Red-winged Blackbird 2
Baltimore Oriole 1
American Goldfinch 3
House Sparrow 3

My Dad also reports a Broad-winged Hawk circling overhead while he was waiting to pick me up. Seeing as (at least I believe) they don't nest near Baltimore, perhaps it was a very late migrant? Or a bird with no nesting territory this year? It was by the zoo entrance. He said it was moving roughly from south to north along the JFX. 

Also, in the tree out front of my house the past few days I've had a few late migrants. Yesterday a handsome very vociferous Blackpoll Warbler, today an immature Redstart and a very drab vireo. Not quite to Warbling drab, sort of between that and a Red-eyed. It didn't sing. Perhaps a Philadelphia?
