Since no one else has posted yet, here's my summary (eBird 
report below).  Great day!  Warblers seen by me and/or by 
others include: BLUE-WINGED, NASHVILLE, NORTHERN PARULA, 
CHESTNUT-SIDED, MAGNOLIA, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, 
YELLOW-RUMPED, YELLOW-THROATED, PALM, CERULEAN, 
BLACK-AND-WHITE, AMERICAN REDSTART, WORM-EATING (was this 
confirmed?), OVENBIRD, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, and HOODED. 
Maybe someone had a waterthrush too?  I pretty much did the 
whole circuit: ridge, equestrian field, maintenance yard, 
dog run, nature center.

Location:    Rock Creek Park
Observation date:    5/2/08
Notes:    My first visit to Rock Creek Park this season. 
Lots of good birds, though I missed some that others had
