        I've gotten a bit behind and this is some new and some catchup
stuff. On Tuesday (Oct. 5) I worked the giel in Perryman off of Chelsea Rd.
that Jim Staz and Matt Haffner covered on Sunday. On Wednesday morning
Brian Monk and I spent two hours there. Highlights Wednesday were:
        White-cowned Sparrow            1 (juv)
        Lincoln's Sp.                   1 (probable) there were 2 on Tuesday
        Palm Warbler                    15 (! Yellow)
        Blackpoll Warbler               1
        Common Yellowthroat             3
        BLUE GROSBEAK                   2 (late)
        Indigo Bunting                  1
        Savannah Sparrow                50+ (everywhere)
        Song Spwrrow                    20+
        BOBOLINK                        3 (late)
        Tree Swallow                    5000+
        American Goldfinch              100+ (this is where the redpolls will
                                        be!)
        Red-tailed Hawk                 4
        Gray Catbird                    8
        Field Sparrow                   10

        I returned on Friday morning. Many of the sam birds, minus the
Bobolinks and Indigo Bunting, and there was only 1 Blue Grosbeak, but the
Song Spwrrow count was higher tnad there were 2 Lincoln'e Sparrows and a
CONNECTICUT WARBLER. The number of White-crowned Sparrows had doubled to 2.
Near the entrance to the Sod Run Sewage Plant I had my first White-throated
Sparrows of the fall, and a Nashville Warbler.
        A quick stop at the Proving Ground provided me with my first
red-breasted Nuthatches of the year (the last person in Maryland to get one
this fall?), at least 6.
