Hi all,
I visited Cabin John RP again this morning. The highlights were:

Warbling Vireo 1
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 2
Black-throated Blue Warbler 1
Black-throated Green Warbler 3
American Redstart 1
Northern Parula 1
Common Yellowthroat 3

The highlight of the day came during my lunch break. About 1:20 pm a Merlin flew over the junction of Old Georgetown Rd and Democracy Blvd. It was heading approximately southwest.

This evening I birded a bit around the neighborhood. At dusk I found myself at Timberlawn Park which has a decent view of the sky. I counted about 800 crows, almost all of whom were Fish Crows. I guess the area crow roost is beginning to re-form. I also had about 80 American Robins. No Common Nighthawks tonight.
