I remember getting some of the shorebirds on this list last year, when I went to the Kingman Lake area much more regularly. We should be able to get Red-breasted Nuthatch (I'll take a look at the pine trees in the Nat. Arboretum some time soon). Am. Tree Sparrow is a possibility. We'll just have to be lucky with things like Iceland Gull (only one I have in DC was at Roaches Run 10+ years ago) and Snow Bunting. Maybe very lucky. And of course lots of things on the list are now all but impossible. Don't you have a Barred Owl in your DC Atlas territory?
