Some highlights at Rock Creek Park, DC for past three days: Monday, April 23: Warblers - Cerulean (1), Pine (1), Palm (6), Wormeating (1), Yellow-rumped (35), Louisiana Waterthrush (1), Ovenbird (4); Vireos - Red-eyed (1), Yellow-throated (2), Blue-headed (2). Wood Thrush (2), Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (6), Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (12), Brown Thrasher (1). Tuesday, April 24: Warblers -- Blue-winged (1), Black-throated Blue (1), Black-throated Green (1), Black-and-white (2), Nashville (1), Ovenbird (5), Yellowthroat (1), Yellow-rumped (ca. 130), Hooded (1). Vireos - Red-eyed (1), Yellow-throated (3), Blue-headed (2). Also 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 3 Indigo Buntings, and 6 Wood Thrushes. Wednesday, April 25: Warblers -- Parula (2), Black-and-White (2), Ovenbird (4) Black-throated Green (2), Black-throated Blue (2), Nashville (1), Yellow- rumped (ca. 200!). Also 2 Red-eyed Vireos, 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Wood Thrushes and 3 Common Loons. Other species were seen or heard by other birders present, but so far we have not had a major "wave" of migrants, just a nice selection in low numbers.
