Returned to National Arboretum this morning, from 8:45-9:45. Lots of singing, but the birds were playing hide-and-seek and the cool, cloudy weather dampened things a bit. All were seen in the Azalea collection:


	* Black-Throated Blue Warbler (first of year, and first in DC)
	* Northern Parula
	* Yellow-Rumped Warbler
	* Scarlet Tanager
	* Red-Eyed Vireo
	* Wood Thrush (2+)
	* White-Throated Sparrow (small flock)
	* Brown Thrasher
	* Eastern Towhee
	* Blue Jay	
	* Mockingbird
	* Cardinal
	* American Robin.

	Plus a possible/likely Blue Grosbeak.
	
	Good birding!
