Spent Friday morning hitting a few spots in the District, and found
the following species of note:

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens:
1 Great Egret
1 Solitary Sandpiper
1 Marsh Wren

Weedy field just south of Kenilworth:
3 Common Snipes
6+ Savannah Sparrows
1 Vesper Sparrow
1 (maybe 2) Grasshopper Sparrows
1 Blue Grosbeak

This weedy field is one of the few places in the District where Blue
Grosbeak and Grasshopper Sparrow breed (or at least are presumed
breeders).
