A renewed plea to be a bit more specific with locations. Though I know most people in Rock Creek Park are at two or three high-traffic places, that isn't always the case, so if you are someplace else, give the rest of us a hint. Little Bennett is a really good-sized place with quite a few different habitats, and while I might make an educated guess at where a certain species is likely to be found, that isn't always the case. I'm not saying you need to give GPS coordinates, but something general like "along the creek behind the Kingsley Schoolhouse" or "on the Tobacco Barn trail" or "near the campground."

And for those who don't read the WashPost anymore (apparently that's nearly everyone) let me do a little bragging on the guy I am impersonating:
