I am posting some sightings from this morning's DC Audubon field trip to 
Little Bennett Regional Park.

We had several Prairie Warblers along the Kingsley and Purdum Trails, 
including a great look at a male as it foraged close to the ground a 
little downhill from the Purdum Trail campground. Also along the 
Kingsley Trail, we had Eastern Bluebird, White-eyed Vireo, Yellow 
Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Scarlet 
Tanager, and Baltimore Oriole. A Northern Parula was singing near the 
schoolhouse. Near the Purdum Trail campground, we also had Cedar 
Waxwing, Pine Warbler, Ovenbird, and Field Sparrow.

Later we stopped at the parking area at the junction of Prescott and 
Hyattstown Mill Roads to walk the closed section of Hyattstown Mill 
Road. At the spot where the road crosses Little Bennett Creek, we had 
prolonged looks at a singing Louisiana Waterthrush and a Yellow-throated 
Vireo. The local KENTUCKY WARBLER was highly cooperative today. We saw 
it once near the junction of the road with the Pine Grove Trail and 
again where the road crosses the creek. In the same stretch of road 
where we had the Kentucky Warbler sightings, we had a brief look at a 
male SUMMER TANAGER as it flew across the road.
