I had a short walk at the National Arboretum in NE DC this morning. 
There was a PINE WARBLER in the small stand of short-needled pines near 
the entrance to the state tree grove. I had a good long look at it 
before it disappeared into the larger group of pines near the state tree 
parking lot. The state tree area also had a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and 
Red-winged Blackbird. The meadows adjacent to the Capitol columns held 
Field Sparrows, Eastern Bluebirds, and Eastern Phoebes. There was a pair 
of Hooded Mergansers in the large pond.
