I hit a couple of DC spots this afternoon, first the National Zoo, then 
Hains Point.

There were at least three Merlins on the Hains Point golf course. I 
think that is the most I have ever seen together at one time.

Species seen:

Wood Duck (Zoo)
American Black Duck (Zoo)
Greater Scaup (Hains Pt)
Lesser Scaup (Hains Pt)
Red-tailed Hawk (Zoo)
Merlin (Hains Pt)
American Coot (Hains Pt)
Killdeer (Hains Pt)
Golden-crowned Kinglet (Hains Pt)
Brown Creeper (Hains Pt)
House Finch (Hains Pt)
American Goldfinch (Zoo)
Song Sparrow (Zoo)
White-throated Sparrow (Zoo)
Dark-eyed Junco (Hains Pt)
