Possibly the one that Barry had earlier this week, in essentially the same spot.

We did the Dog Run also (before Jennifer got there) -- no Connecticut alas but 1 BT Blue, 1 Phoebe, 2 Yellowthroats, 1 Junco (!) and 2 White-throated Sparrows.

Other birds seen by us and others in Rock Creek Maintenance Yard included:  BT Blue (3), BT Green (2), Black & White (1), Tennessee (1), Yellowthroat (1) also a probably Nashville but it "got away" from us, plus Red-breasted Nuthatch (1), Red-eyed Vireo (1), Swainson's Thrush (2), Wood Thrush (1), Brown Thrasher (1), House Wren (3), Cedar Waxwing (5), Phoebe (2), Y-B Sapsucker (2), Broad-winged Hawk (1 fly-over).

We stopped at ANS meadow for a short while and had two Yellowthroats only.

Boy do we need a cold front!!
