     I spent yesterday morning at Little Bennett Park (northern Montgomery 
     County) and found the following:
     
     White-eyed Vireo (numerous)
     Red-eyed Vireo 
     Blue-winged Warbler (one heard)
     Parula 
     Yellow (2)
     Black-throated Blue (4)
     Myrtle 
     Prairie (numerous)
     Black-and-white (1)
     Redstart (2)
     Ovenbird (heard)
     L. Waterthrush (heard)
     Kentucky (several heard)
     Yellowthroat (numerous)
     Scarlet Tanager (2)
     Rose-breasted Grosbeak (2)
     Indigo Bunting (1)
     Baltimore Oriole (1)
     Brown Thrasher 
     
     Tuesday evening I saw the large flock of Bobolinks (announced on the 
     Voice of the Naturalist) in the field at the intersection of New 
     Design Road and Greenfield Road (Frederick County). The field is large 
     but the flock was in the southwest quadrant of the field near the 
     intersection of a farm lane  and New Design Road. I got good views 
     without a scope by walking 150 feet up the farm lane. The field is 
     hilly so that the flock can be hidden from view from certain parts of 
     New Design Road. Several times I was treated to the beauty of this  
     flock, mostly males, rising up and flying around the field. Nearby, 
     several Bobolinks were observed from Oland Road in the field at the 
     northeast corner of Route 85 and Oland Road (Oland Road has a broad 
     paved shoulder for stopping).  At Lilypons, two Greater Yellowlegs 
     were seen from the highway.  Happy birding, Dan Eberly
