After doing the grand tour of Montgomery County (Hughes Hollow,
the polo grounds, the equestrian park), I ended up at Little
Bennett about 11:30 this morning. By then there was rather
little activity, but I was very happy to find a YELLOW-BELLIED
FLYCATCHER (with its "wash of pale yellow from throat to
belly") on the Kingsley Trail. Both it and the Olive-sided
Flycatcher were sought-after state birds for me. Back at the
parking lot, I also saw a COMMON RAVEN (my FOY) circling
overhead with a Turkey Vulture.
Earlier in the day, I had a very nice look at a Northern
Waterthrush at Hughes Hollow.
Good birding!
