A few warblers to add to Clive's list, seen/heard by myself 
and/or others: Northern Parula, Blackburnian, Black-throated 
Blue, Black-and-white, Hooded.  There was some question as 
to whether one of the Kentuckys sounded more like Mourning, 
but nothing definitive.  Also, a Common Nighthawk was seen 
at the equitation field.

Here are my personal observations:

Location:     Rock Creek Park
Observation date:     5/17/07
Notes:     Mostly clear/sunny, cool, calm.  May have seen 
female Bay-breasted Warbler (others saw male, and Magnolia, 
Black-throated Blue, and Blackburnian).  A Common Nighthawk 
was seen by a birder at the equitation field.
