After Kye Jenkins's report today, I decided to head to Paper Mill Flats
to see Trumpeter Swan #962. It was hanging out in the back (northwest)
end of the flats and was obscured by vegetation from most angles.
Here's a digiscoped pic of this bird (actually the first time I've seen
him):

The flats also were great for swallows:
10+ Cliff Swallow
3 Bank Swallow
5 Barn Swallow
2 Northern Rough-winged Swallow
4 Tree Swallow
2 Warbling Vireo
This evening while taking a walk around my suburban Towson neighborhood,
I saw the following:
1 Wilsons Warbler
1 Magnolia Warbler
5-6 Blackpoll Warblers (I've been hearing these from the house everyday
for the past week and a half)
4 Common Nighthawks
