The winter complement of birds seems to be settling in. On the Mall today I found several small flocks of juncos and White-throated Sparrows. There were a couple of Hermit Thrushes around Constitution Gardens, a Red-tailed Hawk was soaring over the American History Museum, and a Golden-crowned Kinglet was in the woods near the DC Veteran's Memorial. There were a few birds that may be moving on soon. In Constitution Gardens, I saw (1) each of Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Blackpoll. A Brown Thrasher was in the woods near the DC Veteran's Memorial. Jim Jim Felley Smithsonian Institution irmss668@sivm.si.edu
