My husband took me to Seneca for the first time since last fall - the mud of early spring 
has made wheelchair birding an extreme challenge! It was a beautiful afternoon:

1 Great Blue Heron
3 Green Herons
1 Mallard
1 Turkey Vulture (!!there should have been dozens!!)
Mourning Doves
2 Pileated Woodpeckers
Eastern Wood Peewee - 1 seen, several others heard
Eastern Kingbird (scooping water or insects from canal surface...)
Bluejays
Fish Crows (voice ID)
Carolina Chickadees
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers (lots)
Gray Catbird
Northern Parula (heard only)
Prothonotary Warblers (1 seen, several heard)
Waterthrush spp. - 2 chasing eachother too rapidly to ID
Northern Cardinals
Common Grackle
Baltimore Oriole
American Goldfinch (lots)

Does anyone know who has jurisdiction over Tschiffley Mill Road? It's the gravel road on 
the other side of the inlet at Seneca and is the wheelchair accessible route to the towpath 
there. The winter and spring weather have gouged out some very big potholes that make 
it dangerous for our low under-carriage wheelchair van to navigate. I'd like to ask 
Montgomery County or the Park Service to fill them...
