	Very birdy this morning at the National Arboretum Azalea Collection. There was also some serious damage to the area, with several large trees down and parts of the paths blocked for repair.

	Highlight was a PHILADELPHIA VIREO, feeding in a tall tree by one of the paths. First mistook it for a Blue-Headed, but got good looks at dark cap, strong white supercilium, dark eyeline, dark lores, whitish underparts and darkish tail. Size was right for Philadelphia, rather than Red-Eyed...

	Other treats included:

	_ American Redstart 
	_ N Parula
	_ Common Yellowthroat (both m and f)
	_ Black and White Warbler
	_ BT Blue Warbler (heard)
	_ Ovenbird (heard)

	_ Scarlet Tanager (m and f)
	_ Red-Eyed Vireo
	_ GC Flycatcher (heard)
	_ E Wood Peewee (heard)
	_ Wood Thrush (heard)
	_ Eastern Towhee (m)
