found the link to the on-line edition of the City Paper.  Guess the author was not there when the birders were there.

Dear All

Just a note for those who are regulars of the Maintenance Yard in Rock Creek
Park.  Today's DC CityPaper has a cover feature article on the rock dump
formed from the remains of the old US Capitol which we all walk through in the
yard - do check it out it makes a pleasant read.  I keep thinking of the much
talked-of fantasy Rock Wren whenever I walk through that area...
