Barry and I went down to Rock Creek Park, DC this morning, not expecting
too much and were not disappointed. However, there are some migrants around:

American Redstart (4); Canada (3); Chestnut-sided (1); Eastern Pewee (2);
Eastern Phoebe (2); Great Crested Flycatcher (1); Acadian FC (2); Baltimore
Oriole (1); Red-eyed Vireo (2, one was singing!); House Wren (3); Blue-gray
Gnatcatcher (6), R-T Hummingbird (4).

Very hot, still and dry. Things are waiting for the next cold front -- or
Bonnie, whichever comes first!
