After seeing the Gray Kingbird in MD with Paul O'Brien and Rob Hilton, Rob &
I stopped at Kenilworth Park in NE DC.  It was quite birdy too, with the
highlight being 15 EASTERN MEADOWLARKS.  This is a very high number for DC.
Other birds of interest include:

1 GREAT EGRET
1 female AMERICAN KESTREL
c.30 CHIMNEY SWIFTS
c.24 TREE SWALLOWS
c.40 PALM WARBLERS (mostly Yellows)
Lots of SONG SPARROWS, plus a few SWAMPS and WHITE-THROATEDS.

Good birding,
