Hi, 

My computer did the nasty computer thing of being uncooperative on Monday,
before I had a chance to email this report.  I am, I mean, it is back up
and running now.  

On Saturday, Oct. 23, at Rock Creek Park DC, near the nature center,
Ottavio Janni discovered and Lisa Shannon and I also saw a late (and
brightly colored) Blue-winged Warbler.  Its right foot appeared to be
injured, as it trouble landing on twigs and at one point we could see it
hold that foot off the branch.  It was capturing caterpillars as it hopped
and fluttered.
