Great bird Dan! �By "east" do you mean the highest part of the park? �I have always thought of the park as north & south, and birded the "north" or "west" side off�Minnesota�Ave. �But you're right that the park is more of an east/west orientation.
Thanks again for the bird surveys you do for the DC DOE, and i hope you get today's birds in eBird!
Jason

Subject: [MDBirding] Olive-sided flycatcher - FT Dupont (alabama avenue entrance)
Several good birds out today during surveys. Best was an olive-sided flycatcher at Ft DuPont.
�
10:08am� - park entrance off Alabama Avenue, SE. Between the bathhouse and meadow restoration project. There is a large snag in the middle, set back 30 yards into the woods.�It was sitting on top with a ruby-throated hummingbird. Never vocalized and went into canopy.�I did not stick around to see if it returned. Flycatcher profile.Larger than a peewee. Smaller than a kingbird. Sat up nicely. Dark wings, gray flanks, great view of white down the�middle of the breast.
�
This was a great area during migration. Everything from blue-headed vireos to blackburnians�to Wilson's warblers. There is a homeless guy who lives in the building. He has never given me any trouble, but just be aware that he is usually there.
�
Other good birds on the east side of Ft Dupont this morning were:
�
scarlet tanager - 2 males
northern parula - male
veery - 1
wood thrush - 3
Acadian flycatcher - 4
great-crested flycatcher - pair copulating
eastern wood-peewee�- 4
red-eyed vireo - 6
Eastern towhee - 1 female
ruby-throated hummingbird - 1
