I spent a surprisingly birdy lunchtime (approximately 1 - 2:30) in the
vicinity of the DC World War I memorial.  Best sighting was a small
flock (3-4) of Lincoln's Sparrows in the low shrubbery just west of the
memorial.  Other birds included: 
 

Great Crested Flycatcher 

Eastern Kingbird 

Red-eyed Vireo 

Brown Thrasher 

Chestnut-sided Warbler 

Magnolia Warbler 

Black-throated Blue Warbler 

Blackpoll Warbler (many, and not shy)

American Redstart 

Ovenbird 

Common Yellowthroat 

Wilson's Warbler 

Song Sparrow 

 

and a silent Empid with a bold eye ring and noticeable yellow on both
breast and belly.
