I visited the National Arboretum this afternoon. The highlight was an 
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER perched at the top of the tall snag across the 
road from the columns. In addition to the many Swainson's Thrushes on 
the trails through the Azalea Gardens, there was one GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH 
on the south side of the hill. Most of the warbler activity was on the 
south slope of the Azalea Gardens. The same trail had a trio of 
grungy-looking White-throated Sparrows. There is still a BOBOLINK 
singing in the meadow near the columns. An abbreviated list follows.
