Hi all,
I decided to venture on bike up to Aspen Hill thru the park. Thought birding might be kind of slow, but came across a Cape May Warbler (colorful male) foraging in a dead pine, near Viers Mill Road. Flickers were everywhere, I counted about 20+ as were Robins and Grackles, and Catbirds (many). As noted by others, my hummingbird feeder comsumption has dropped, and hummers gone.
