The rest of what I saw in Rock Creek Park has been covered by earlier posts, but Soapstone Valley this morning held:
Acadian flycatcher (also present yesterday, though I forgot to include it in yesterday's post)
Wood thrush (at least 4)
Veery (at least 2)
Swainson's thrush (singing very early, silent a few hours later)
Also, singing Louisiana waterthrush has been regular there since April 19--probably the same bird? Wonder if he'll stick around.
