I led a group of enthusiastic bird watchers at Rock Creek Park this morning (5/4) and so I did not make the usual contacts with most of the many other birders there. Thus this report contains only a partial list of the birds that were heard or seen and by no means a full list of observers. I expect addenda to this report. Special birds are highlighted. 

Warblers:  Northern Parula, Blackpoll, Yellow-rumped, Blackburnian, Bay-breasted, Prairie, American Redstart, Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-White, Common Yellowthroat, Magnolia, Ovenbird
