Hi All,
Slow day at Fort DuPont in SE Washington, DC.� Four of us birded the area - Paul Pisano, Rob Hilton and Lisa Shannon and enjoyed the wonderful weather if not the underwhelming bird numbers.� Paul was hoping for DC Wild Turkey for September, but in spite of numerous Turkey feathers on the trail, it was nit to be:(
Few highlights, but if we had to put something it caps it would be: NASHVILLE WARBLER, GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER, and 7 SCARLET TANAGERs.
