The arboretum was quite crowded on 5/8/05 with folks looking at the azaleas and whatnot, and although we did not arrive until mid-day, we still managed to do OK. Got four more year-birds, putting us in reach (194) of our original goal of 200 for 2005:


	* Bald Eagle (this was actually over the Anacostia on Route 50, coming in to DC)
	* Mockingbird
	* Chipping Sparrow
	* Yellow-Rumped Warbler (they seemed to be EVERYWHERE)
	* Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher
	* RED-EYED VIREO (in the Azalea collection)
	* Northern Cardinal
	* BALTIMORE ORIOLE (one seen, another heard. On the hill approaching the Asian Collection)
	* CEDAR WAXWING (8+, on the same hill, between the pond and the Asian Collection. Finally!)
	* Eastern Towhee
	* White-Throated Sparrow (heard)
	* Great Blue Heron (flyover)
	* Grey Catbird
	* American Crow
	* Rock Pigeon
	* ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK (female, in the Azalea Collection)
