Most of the birds I saw have been reported by others, so I won't repeat them here. Just a few birds of note not reported elsewhere: 1 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER flew overhead at Kenilworth Park on Friday, 4/27. 1 BLUE GROSBEAK at Kenilworth Park, also on 4/27. 2 lingering RUSTY BLACKBIRDS at KAG on 4/27. 2 PEREGRINES still on the RR bridge over the Potomac (seen both days). 1 lingering female RUDDY DUCK on the Potomac opposite the FDR memorial, 4/28. No sign of Grasshopper Sparrow at Kenilworth Park.
