I spent an hour or so at Constitution Gardens this morning before work.  I was 
surprised to find a late SLATE-COLORED JUNCO feeding amongst a few White-
Throated Sparrows on the ground right next to the DC War Memorial.  
Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet morning on the mall, with only a few 
warblers, including at least one BLACKPOLL, at least four AMERICAN 
REDSTARTS, several NORTHERN PARULAS, and the usual MYRTLE WARBLERS.  I 
also found an ORCHARD ORIOLE and a RED-EYED VIREO.
