Persistence paid off: DC Veteran's Memorial - not much activity, because a National Park crew was busy tidying up. The noise made it hard to hear anything, but still present were: Blackpolls (several) Magnolia Warbler American Redstart Red-eyed Vireo Constitution Gardens was much quieter: Magnolia Warbler Blackpolls (many!) Wilson's Warbler (male, by the bathrooms) Yellow Warbler Red-eyed Vireo Scarlet Tanager I'll be out tomorrow to see if the rain(?) drops anyone in.
