Hi all --

Still early days at Rock Creek Park, but we did have a couple of "firsts"
for the year, plus a nice male Cerulean Warbler (not a common migrant at
RCP).

Warblers: Myrtle (~40), No. Parula (3), Black-and-White (3), Ovenbird (4),
Yellow (1), Cerulean (1).

Other migrants: Wood Thrush (2-3), B-G Gnatcatcher (12), R-C Kinglet (12),
Blue-headed Vireo (3), Scarlet Tanager (4), Gray Catbird (1, first of the
year!), House Wren (2, first of the year!), Eastern Kingbird (1), Field
Sparrow (1), Swamp Sparrow (1), Chipping Sparrow (10), Junco (1, last of the
year??)

Came home to find our local House Wren had also returned but he may have a
problem this year as his (usual) nest box has been taken over by a Downy WP!
