A beautiful clear morning at Rock Creek Park with a nice warbler  
fallout.  The highlight of the day was a MOURNING WARBLER spotted by  
Paul Pisano and later acquired by others.  There was also a YELLOW- 
THROATED WARBLER reported by David Gersten---quite unusual for the  
Park.  We were also greeted by a wonderful courting display of the  
Ruby-throated Hummingbird as it swung back and forth over a wide arc.
