Best bird was a Lincoln's Sparrow less than 1/2 mile upstream along the towpath at Riley's Lock. It even sang. Always nice to see this species, especially in spring when it seems to be a bit harder to get. There was also a Cerulean singing in the woods between Seneca Creek and the canal basin. There were more migrants along the stretch of the canal off of Sycamore Landing Rd and I had decent looks at one male Cerulean there. There were several singing Black-throated Blue, as well as Am Redstart, and Northern Waterthrush. Further up along River Rd a female Turkey crossed the road in front of my car. Most areas of woods had singing Wood Thrushes, and many Grasshopper Sparrows on territory where the grass has grown long enough.
