The wild area in the shadow of the S Capitol St Br hosted a W Snipe this 
AM, while a dozen singing male Song Sparrows could only have been mostly 
migrants at that density - one so rufous as to suggest one of the Alaska 
races. An E. Phoebe was in full song, the first I've heard this year. A 
pair of Red-shoulders seemed to be investigating nest sites, and a V of 
260 Tundra Swans passed overhead.

Meanwhile, here in Bowie migration of geese and swans continues with 
Tundra swans in one string "so long I couldn't count them all", 
according to Jane.
