Since no one else has posted yet, here are my observations
from this morning at Rock Creek Park (Maintenance Yard), as
submitted to eBird. Highlights included a nice variety of
thrushes (SWAINSON'S, WOOD, VEERY, and robin of course), and
a good assortment of warblers (CHESTNUT-SIDED, MAGNOLIA,
BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLACK-AND-WHITE,
AMERICAN REDSTART, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT). Had 2 warbler sp.
(flashes of yellow flying away), and others saw a
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO.
