I generally avoid mixing my work (as an Interior Department lawyer) with birding, but I'll make an exception to correct one point in Mike's post.  

Battery Kemble is administered by the National Park Service, and dogs off-leash are prohibited, as they are at all local NPS parks.  Some NPS parks, like Battery Kemble and Ft. Bayard Park (where I regularly bird), have become de facto dog parks--I suspect this occurs because NPS does not enforce its regulation as frequently as DC does for DC city parks.  But the off-leash dogs are still not legal.
