Hi, All

An early morning visit to Rock Creek Park (near the stables and visitors' 
center) gave us the following warblers:
blue-winged warbler
palm warbler
black-and-white warbler
yellow-rumped warbler
We also heard a yellow-billed cuckoo

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens yielded:
northern rough-winged swallows
eastern kingbird
blue-gray gnatcatcher
northern parula warbler
common yellowthroat

Finally, at Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, we found the following:
red-eyed vireo
grasshopper sparrows (2)
wood thrush
ovenbird
hooded warbler (male)
bald eagle (immature)
red-headed woodpecker (adult)
field sparrows

Altogether we saw 70 birds and had a great day!
