Some 30 bird watchers were at Rock Creek Park this morning enjoying  
the splendid weather and an abundance of warblers.  The highlight of  
the morning was a CONNECTICUT WARBLER first spotted by Jim Lemert in  
the Maintenance Yard around 8:30 and reacquired by Gary Allport some  
15 minutes later. My best attempt at capturing what was seen follows:
