I had a total of 82 species on or visible (in DC) from Roosevelt Isd over the weekend - 70 on 5/4,  60+ on 5/5.  Included 13 warbler species (highlight TENNESSEE on 5/4), 3 vireo spp, 3 wren spp. and 6 thrush spp (highlight a GRAY-CHEEKED near the monument).  Doubtless other warblers disappeared or shut up before I arrived...

Saturday's list would be 75 species if including 5 in VA only, along path from Rosslyn (Osprey, Blackpoll, Prothonotary, Warbling Vireo, & Mockingbird).
