It was a hopping 'migrant' day within the Anacostia river watershed in the
District of Columbia. I had spectacular views of a male Scarlet Tanager, a
singing Great Crested Flycatcher and a Wild Turkey foraging along the Oxon
Run (near the intersection of Southern Avenue and S. Capitol St. SE).

On a non-avian note, a gorgeous Gray Fox stepped out from the gallery forest
along Oxon creek and provided very clear looks right down to the black
streak running dorsally on its tail.
