MPEA was very birdy this morning. My first Tree Swallow of the year. Many 
species singing...among them Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrows. Both Kinglets, 
Brown Creeper and Kurt Schwarz along the river.
Three Wood Ducks in the wet area which was filled with emerging skunk 
cabbage.
The little woodland pond was full of eggs.

Complete list below if interested.

Also birded Centennial 3 times last week with little changes other than an 
influx of Phoebes yesterday (6) and a flyover DC Cormorant and 2 flyover 
Common mergansers.

Checked Plum Tree wetland area. The cattail marsh was very dry without much 
bird activity but I did find a lovely Fox.
