I agree on the bag pipes.  They're like haggis.  It takes a while to =

     Hi all,
    =20
     Sharon and I spent Saturday morning at Jefferson Patterson Park and =

     Walnut Creek Cypress Swamp located in Calvert County.  We first =
went=20
     to Walnut Creek Cypress Swamp.  Upon reaching the entrance, we =
noticed=20
     that the park didn't open until 10 a.m. So we headed to Jefferson=20
     Patterson Park.  We were greeted by the sound of Bagpipes -- the=20
     annual Celtic Festival was scheduled for the park that day. =20
     Fortunately, there was virtually no one there except the Festival=20
     staff.
    =20
     We started down the trail by the Park Gift Shop, saw three CHIPPING =

     SPARROWS at the entrance of the trail.  Within 30 feet of the trail =
we=20
     heard a Tanager song.  We followed the trail back out to the field =
and=20
     were treated to two SUMMER TANAGERS.  A couple of minutes later =
three=20
     Zebra Swallowtails perched near by for camera shots.  Along the =
field=20
     (where cars were starting to be parked for the festival) we heard =
many=20
     NORTHERN PARULAS and two YELLOW WARBLERS. =20
    =20
     Back on the trail we heard/saw two YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, BARRED =
OWL=20
     (heard), many BLUE/GRAY GNATCACHERS, a PINE WARBLER, two LOUISIANA=20
     WATERTHRUSHES, two SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, and a RED-EYED VIREO.  The =
Bagpipe=20
     music, which started out being novel, became quite annoying.  Do =
they ever=20
     finish a song? or is it the same one for hours and hours!  When we=20
     finished birding the trail, we came out of the woods to see =
hundreds of=20
     cars in the first field and literally a thousand people - many =
dressed in=20
     Irish garb.
    =20
     Time to move on.  At Walnut Creek Cypress Swamp, NORTHERN PARULAS =
were=20
     everywhere.  Never a time when we didn't hear one.  Two =
PROTHONOTARY=20
     WARBLERS chasing each other throughout the swamp.  A couple of =
LOUISIANA=20
     WATERTHRUSH, a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER and a CATBIRD (near the =
parking=20
     lot.)  Three BLACK VULTURES circling over head.
    =20
     Great weather and great birds.  Let's get these warblers up to =
Howard=20
     County!
