Hi all,

I wasn't expecting much from a lunchtime stroll around Roosevelt  
Island in DC today, but it ended up being quite nice.  Eight warbler  
species:

Nashville Warbler     1
Northern Parula     1
Magnolia Warbler     2
Black-throated Blue Warbler     1
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)     1
Palm Warbler     1
Black-and-white Warbler     1
American Redstart     1

Other good birds were a Scarlet Tanager and a Wood Thrush (haven't  
seen many yet this fall).  Downy Woodpeckers seemed to have multiplied  
ten-fold in just a few days, as have Catbirds.

A Bald Eagle was grabbing sticks from the south end of Roosevelt  
Island and carrying them over the water to the Virginia side of the  
Roosevelt Bridge.  Obviously building a nest somewhere over there.

Cheers,
