Usually, I bird Little Falls Park (the part between Hillandale Rd. 
and Dorset Avenue, Bethesda) in the spring.  But today, 9/17, my wife 
and I decided to go over for a couple of hours of morning fall 
birding. Lots of bird activity and lots of bathing birds -- mostly 
Robins and Catbirds.   Best bird was a Northern Waterthrush in the 
channelized stream.

Full eBird report follows:

Location:    Bethesda--Little Falls Park
Observation date:    9/17/07
Notes:    Little Falls Park deserves more attention from Bethesda 
area birders. It is a dependably interesting area during migration. 
The shallow, channelized stream has many emerging willows and has 
become an attractive bathing and drinking area for many bird species.
