Hi all,

  Got out this morning while the sun was still shining, and the winds were light.
In the Bethesda part of Rock Creek Park, I heard and then saw a Rose breasted Grosbeak,
and a short distance away heard a Red eyed Vireo singing. An Ovenbird called, and then
a Black throated Blue Warbler, then a Northern Waterthrush! 
I worked my way up to Ken-Gar, and then to Viers Mill Park both of which were productive.
