After missing most of the past early migration birding week due to a  
virus and a crazy busy work week the birding gods decided to throw me  
a good one at Kenilworth Park in DC.  An Upland Sandpiper was working  
the grass fields between the first parking lot and the first  
goalposts.  I fired off a bunch of photos and some came out perfectly  
- shots of it standing and flying.  I'll post a link in a few hours -  
heading over to KAG now.

I sat in the grass and let him do his thing for a while.  After about  
20 minutes he lifted off and flew to the south over the neighborhood.   
I followed him as far as I could - he was definitely making a beeline  
to somewhere.

Cheers,
