Frank Caruso, a friend visiting from Cape Cod, and I spent a profitable morning (8:10-9:30 a.m.) at the National Arboretum in DC, mostly in and around the Azalea Gardens. Frank continued birding as I reluctantly left for a busy workday...
Warblers (many heard, but not seen):
_ Yellow-Rumped (everywhere)
_ Northern Parula (at least three, one seen)
_ Palm
_ Prarie (heard)
_ Black-and-White (FOY, heard)
_ Black-Throated Green (FOY, heard)
_ Ovenbird (heard)
Other spring migrants included:
_ Blue Grey Gnatcatcher
_ Wood Thrush
_ Red-Eyed Vireo
Plus:
_ Eastern Towhee, calling
_ Hermit Thrush
_ Pileated Woodpecker
_ White-Throated Sparrows, still.
_ Brown Thrasher, singing in a tree.
Good Birding!
