Brown Creepers and Ovenbirds seemed to be singing everywhere in Sapsucker Woods this morning from about 8:30-9:30. At the Woodleton I saw the northside Northern Waterthrush and heard the southside half of that duelling pair. I then ran into an incredible profusion of Yellow-rumped Warblers on the eastern north-south leg of the East Trail by the swampy pond and shelter. Everything that moved seemed to be a Rumpie and I was just about to give up finding any other migrants when I ran into Karen, a California Park Ranger from Yosemite. While we were comparing notes on east and west-coast birds (it's chastening to be reminded how stunning Northern Cardinals and Blue Jays are) she found a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER which obliged us with brief but excellent views.
