We went to Rock Creek in the early am, found it slow -- the warbler migration
is coming to an end -- so decided to hit Layhill Park in Montgomery County.
It was obvious that the sparrows had arrived!
White-throated (300+), Song (100+), Chipping (~50), Swamp (~40), White-crowned
(6), Field (~20), Junco (12). No Lincoln's, a bit surprising since this is
one of the best sites. No sign of yesterday's Savannah Sparrow either.
Many other migrants: Ruby-crowned Kinglets (40+), Palm Warbler (5), Phoebe
(2), Blue Jays, Robins, Catbirds, a few House Wrens, Common Yellowthroats,
Indigo Buntings, over 50 Bluebirds (compared to about a dozen yesterday).
The place was jumping!
