Hi --

Sorry for this being late, I wasn't at Rock Creek (had a dog show) but Barry
was -- things definitely winding down but still some migrants, best bird an
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER in the Maintenance Yard.

Warblers:  Orange-crowned (1), Black-throated Blue (4), Black-throated Green
(2), Black-and-White (1), Myrtle (1), Nashville (1), Yellowthroat (3). Seen
by others: Palm (1), Parula (1)

Other Migrants:  Ruby-crowned Kinglet (4), Golden-crowned Kinglet (4),
Scarlet Tanager (1), Wood-pewee (1), House Wren (3-4), Catbird (3), Brown
Thrasher (1), Phoebe (3), Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2), Seen by others,
Blue-headed Vireo (1)

Now sure how much longer we will be birding Rock Creek -- we usually stop
around the 10th and go elsewhere but the last week has been quite good
(after a very poor September).
