Along the west slope mid dirt track of Lookout Hill,4 EASTERN TOWHEES lined up along that section with WHITE THROATED SPARROWS & CATBIRDS. A bonus BROWN THRASHER appeared as well which gave me good looks despite its furtiveness.But no Kentucky luck this morning even as I listened for it. It does have a loud call. Two mammals to my surprise on the same dirt track, a RACCOON sauntered across and down the slope and a COTTONTAIL popped out , running along the track ( but alas NO Kentucky........)
In the Oak tree atop the Maryland Monument stairs, some warblers and buntings. CHESTNUT SIDED WARBLER was the best warbler& two male INDIGO BUNTINGS made a nice find ; but contrasty heavy overcast skies created difficult seeing.
The heavy cloud cover sometimes brings birds down to earth so good birding today.
