After saying goodbye to Wallace at Rock Creek, Wayne Baumgartner and I headed down to Fletcher's Boathouse area where we found a nice selection of warblers and other birds.
Yellow-throated Warbler (hd--a little north of the picnic area between the river and the paved towpath)
Northern Waterthrush (hd--in the same area)
Prothonotary Warbler( one seen at close range near the boat ramp and another heard north of the picnic area)
Others warblers seen: Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, Yellow, N. Parula, Common Yellowthroat (hd), Blackpoll
Also seen: Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Warbling Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, lots of Cedar Waxwings, Kingbirds, Red-Shouldered Hawk, Swainson's Thrush and an unid'd one that got away, Spotted Sandpiper down by the boat ramp, and 3 Solitary Sandpipers in the nearly empty canal.
