(I was dancing when I found the single bird at Hains because it was a DC bird for me. I nearly fell over when I found this flock of 11 birds at Kenilworth. Alas, none were White-faced.) 4 GREATER YELLOWLEGS 2 COMMON SNIPE 2 GRASSHOPPER SPARROW Plus other migrants are finally starting to come into this area, though nothing out of the ordinary.
