Of the 107 species Gwen and I had today in Charles County, we had another trash bird. I guess about 10 Bald Eagles before we stopped counting. We also had 40 to 50 Osprey. Lots of Bald Eagles but the highlights were a Snowy Egret and a singing Willow Flycatcher at Allen's Fresh about 9 AM. Other highlights were a singing Tennessee Warbler and a couple Canada Warblers singing around Nanjemoy. We had several Blackpolls as various locations as well. Shorebirds of note were three Black-bellied and 6 Semipalmated Plovers, and 4 Semipalmated Sandpipers at Allen's Fresh. One Forster's and one Royal Tern were also present at Allen's Fresh. At Morgantown we had 40 Royal and One Caspian Tern. Most of the other species for the day were nesting birds. Notable breeding misses were Green Heron, Mute Swan, Red-shouldered, Broadwing, and Cooper's Hawk, Wild Turkey (not calling now), Eastern Screech and Great Horned Owl, Chuck-wills-widow (did not go down to Cobb Island at night), and Red-headed Woodpecker (too late in the day for the three sites we checked - one is an active nest site). We found all the rest of the nesting birds expected in Charles County which includes 15 species of warblers, three species of vireos, three species of swallow, four species of sparrows, and all the expected black birds including both species of Orioles. The warbler list including that noted trash warbler (know as Hooded by some.) They are all over the southwestern part of the county. They arrive in late April and start singing. Come visit. Enjoy your birds.
