> I saw a Brewster's Warbler at Western Regional Park in Howard
> County this morning (5/3) around 9 AM. It was feeding in the
> tops of oak trees along a trail that passes close to several
> large homes in a mature oak woods. The trail first goes
> through a stubbly field before entering the woods. It starts
> as a dirt track from a parking lot along the main park road
> before this road reaches ball fields in the back area of the park.

Blue-wing's
