There's been a Virginia's Warbler in Maryland - and what is especially
intriguing is that the Virginia's may well have arrived in a like time-
frame that the Nassau County (NY) Grace's Warbler did... or at any
rate possibly around the same time period - see the MD list for a
first report... which mentions when their western warbler was likely
first found. So where is Lucy's? (Perhaps the least likely of W.
"lady-warblers" to stray east very far).

In more local bird news, the Rufous Hummingbird at Manhattan (New York
City's) American Museum of Natural History's West 81 Street
"planetarium" entry area plantings was there again today. And an
Eastern Phoebe recently seen in Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx was not
nearly the only one being noted in the region, with a few being
reported well north and a bunch from just north of the old south, that
is into the greater D. of C. area, a.k.a. the U.S. of A.'s capitol
district.
Good birding,
