A flock of Bobolinks (2 males + approx. 30 females) at the Kenilworth Park
was the highlight of an otherwise rather slow day within the Anacostia river
watershed in DC. Alder Flycatchers were observed in close proximity to the
Bobolinks.

A male Red-shouldered Hawk put on a spectacular aerial "sky dance" display
in Ft. Dupont Park.

A Wild Turkey male was sighted along the Oxon Run creek.
