Hain's Point was very quiet except for a CANADA WARBLER along the maintenance road and two straggler LESSER SCAUP on the Potomac. At Anacostia Park, there were at least two WILLOW FLYCACTCHERS (calling and seen) back at their traditional breeding area at Poplar Point. Finally, I checked the RFK Stadium parking lots, but they were completely empty and puddle area is getting pretty small.
