I took a drive on May 24 up to The Old Annapolis Road Trail system with =
Bay-breasted Warbler and Swainson's Thrush as my primary subjects. I =
found a Bay-breasted Warbler near the foot bridge but alas there was no =
photographic opportunity.=20

Some selfish idiots that drive ATV's removed the hand rail along both =
sides of the bridge creating a safety hazard for hikers, presumably for =
their own convenience in driving their dirty noisy machines across the =
creek and along the Old Annapolis Road, also destroying the road for =
hiking in the process. A portion of the Old Annapolis Road skirts a bog =
known for Olive-sided Flycatcher.=20

I did succeed in finding and photographing a Swainson's Thrush. Although =
 I saw and heard them in their usual breeding places the bird that posed =
was actually beside the road.

Further down the hill is a spot where American Redstart breed every =
year. I heard them singing in passing and stopped for some decent photos =
of this handsome guy.
