Hello all. 

My morning birding attempt was thwarted by being called into work, so I 
decided that I could not let this weather pass without a little afternoon 
birding. The main trail at Weinberg Park is mostly cleaned up from last 
month's storm damage and yielded some great birds including a Red-breasted 
Nuthatch, 2 Eastern Phoebes, 3 Pine Warblers and a good sparrow and 
woodpecker assortment (including the RHWO). 

Highlights:

G. Blue Heron: 1  On the pond's edge
DC Cormorant: 16  On White Rocks
M. Swan: 2  
C. Goose: 4
Mallard: 3  
Scaup sp: 10  On Rock Creek
Canvasback: 14  On Rock Creek
Wood Duck: 3  On the pond
TV: 18  Including a soaring group of 16 headed northwest
OSPREY: 1  Cruising over Rock Creek
RT Hawk: 1  Moving north
SS Hawk: 1  Moving north
RB Gull: 3
H. Gull: 2
GBB Gull: 3  On White Rocks
Killdeer: 1  Flyover
RB NUTHATCH: 1  Working a tree trunk silently, I found it by dumb luck
RB Woodpecker: 3
RH WOODPECKER:  1  No longer looking like a subadult!
D. Woodpecker: 1
N. Flicker: 3
YB Sapsucker: 1  On the same tree as the Nuthatch
Pileated Wodpecker: 1  Calling 
E. PHOEBE: 2  Hunting from neighboring brush piles
PINE WARBLER: 3  Working the pines along the main trail
Song Sparrow: 6
WT Sparrow: 24+ total

Also, American Robins moving through in good numbers along with Common  
Grackles, RW Blackbirds and BH Cowbirds.

Best to all,
