Apologies for the late posting on most of these.

Last Sunday (4/23) I saw two Eastern Kingbirds at the baseball fields by the
Ice Rink at Cabin John Park (Potomac-ish, MD).  It's the first time I've
seen them this year.  There was also a Kestrel hunting in the cut for the
power lines, not sure if that means it's nesting nearby.  I am pretty sure
there are Red-shouldered Hawks nesting there, I see them every week.

Also that evening I saw a Chimney Swift over Holy Redeemer Church in
Kensington.

Finally, yesterday (4/27) at Layhill Park (north on Layhill Rd from the
intersection of Layhill and Bel Pre) was my first Orchard Oriole of the
year.

Not sure if any of this is useful data but we can never get too many
reports, right?

Happy Weekend, everyone.
