Dear All

A few birds to add to those seen by others in the last day or two.

Firstly, yesterday morning I heard a Barred Owl on the Ridge in Rock Creek Park at dawn - and it sounds like it and another were there this morning too.  Also of note was what soundeed like a Screech Owl heard by one of the other birds there - Claudia I think.  I  nissed that.  Also to add to Wallace's post was 3-4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in the Maintanence Yard area.

Today, I didn't go out to the Stables area of the park but not until late and with the kids in tow so saw not a lot.  However, I did see a few birds at Hains Pt this evening whilst the kids were playing:  Palm Warbler 6,  Y R Warbler 3 (ere they come...), Blackpoll 1, Indigo Bunt 1, and Lincoln's Sparrow 1 (possibly 2) amongst about a dozen Song Sparrows.

Cheers
