Warblers are beginning to come in at Rock Creek Park on the Ridge and  
in the Maintenance Yard.  The yard yielded one Canada Warbler, two  
Blue-winged Warblers (first spotted by Gary Allport and Frank  
Hawkins), and about six Redstarts. On the Ridge I found the Canada  
(2),  Blue-wing (2), Back-and-White (2), Redstart (7+), first year  
Chestnut-sided (12-15).  Jim Lemert also saw an Ovenbird and a  
Nashville Warbler.

In addition to the warblers in the yard there were: Red-shouldered  
Hawk, numerous Red-eyed Vireos, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Ruby-throated  
Hummingbirds, Baltimore Oreoles, House Wrens (6), and Carolina Wrens.
