After getting a great look at the Lincoln's Sparrow in Annapolis found by Dan Haas, I made my way through rush hour traffic to the National Arboretum where, despite light rain, the birding was good. It will be SUPER good in just a couple more days...

	Best bird was a very cooperative singing Chestnut-Sided Warbler, a FoY.

	Other migrants included:

	_ Black-Throated Blue Warbler (FoY)
	_ Common Yellowthroat
	_ Yellow-Rumped Warbler
	_ Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher
	_ Scarlet Tanager
	_ Northern Parula (2 heard)
	_ Great-Crested Flycatcher (heard)
	_ Grey Catbird (2)
	_ Wood Thrush

	Also had:

	_ Pileated Woodpecker
	_ Brown Thrasher
	_ Eastern Towhees, singing everywhere
	_ brief glimpse of a likely Baltimore Oriole
	_ White-Breasted Nuthatch (heard)
	_ White-Throated Sparrow, large flock

	Plus the usual assorted blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, titmice, robins and goldfinches...
	
	Good Birding!
