My favorite spot for warblers is Seneca, Maryland - the C&O Canal
Towpath. Directions in Claudia's book. Also excellent on a good
day is Great Falls, Virginia. Good Luck!

Hi folks. This is my first spring in the DC area, and courtesy of NATO I have tomorrow off. Greg's message has me excited for a big day of birding, and I'm looking for suggestions on where to go for migrants. I have been to Huntley Meadows 4 or 5 times, but am looking to expand. Where would you recommend for warblers? What about raptors - are the next few days expected to be good for raptors as well? I live in Rosslyn (Arlington), and I do have a car, so anything in the MDOsprey area is fair game. I also have Wild's book, so I don't need directions to places in the book. Directions to other locations would be helpful.
If anyone would like to offer suggestions, email me directly at danielm@econ.ag.gov.
Thanks in advance and happy birding,
Dan Mullarkey

Howdy All!
Conditions are right today and tomorrow. Light winds of 10-15mph were out
of the South/Southwest last night and a front moved through yesterday. Any
lingering migrants should still be around this morning.
Tonight promises to be warm (60s) with continued light steady winds out of
the South and Southwest. Additionally, the winds in the Gulf are extremely
favorable right now. To our South there will be a great push of migrants
in the next couple days.
Though it's still early, I'm betting we'll see a good influx of small
numbers of a larger variety of warblers...
Hopefully, we'll soon get to see a smattering of the good numbers of birds
crossing the Gulf right now.
