Hi all
�
I spent c 6AM-230PM birding in DC (Rock Creek) and then portions of Montgomery County.
�
Highlight was a female Summer Tanager at Blockhouse Point, which was calling repeatedly and showed well.� It was more or less all the way down to the canal.� I thought I heard a male singing once but could� not be sure.� There was also a Worm-eating Warbler singing back in the woods more or less at the same point.
�
I had 23 warbler species at different places, best being a Cape May on Hunting Quarter Rd.� B/T Blue and Green were prominent in good numbers.� I also had my FOY Swainson's Thrush at Rock Creek as well as a late Purple Finch, quite possibly the same bird I found yesterday but relocated to the Maintenance Yard.
�
The back roads S of Poolesville did not give up any Bobolinks but I found 4 different singing Vesper Sparrows in the Edwards Ferry Rd/Westerly Rd cluster; presumably the Budd Rd birds are also still there so its a good year for these birds in the local area.
�
Last stop was at Huntmaster Rd wetlands where some species had moved on but as many as 15 Solitary Sands in the different ponds, with a single Gr Yellowlegs, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs and 2 Least Sands still there.
�
All in all a good day to be out.

Regards
