Dear All

Looks there might be a few birds around today as there was a notable influx 
of new birds around the house this morning (Van Ness, NW DC).  In five 
minutes sipping tea I saw 2-3 Yellow-rumps in the trees around the garden 
(the first of the autumn from the house) and three other warblers flying 
over plus various other things going 'chip' that remained unseen.  I hope 
someone is in the Maintenance Yard this morning.

The weather looks interesting for the next few days with a combination of a 
bunch of rain coming in from the south (the remnants of TS Tammy)and a weak 
cold front coming through from the west.  It looks like we're set for some 
serious rain in DC (at last) and a flip from southerlies to northlies 
sometime over the weekend.  That should at least stir things up a bit.

Cheers

Gary
