Hi all,
Birded 2 hours this morning along the hiker-biker trail in Rock Creek Park;
Best bird of the morning (10-12am) was a male Cerulean Warbler singing and foraging high in a Sycamore tree just off the path. He might be a possible breeder;
I watched him for 45 min. he stayed in an area of 4 trees. Since they are becoming so uncommon, it is nice to see one.

Black thr Blue Warbler 1
Northern Waterthrush 1
