At the edge of the soccer field at Eastern Middle School, on University 
Blvd. just inside the Beltway:

Merlin, female (1)

Perched in plain view about half an hour - allowed me to approach quite 
close.  In the background, my son's soccer team played to a tie, 1-1.

And later, amazingly enough in this coolish weather, I saw a Clouded Sulphur 
on the soccer field!
