I've noticed more Great Crested Flycatchers than usual for about a week around Georgetown, including at least 4 Saturday at Dumbarton Oaks Park.
 
Was unable to get out until mid-day yesterday (Sunday), when I had
 
Great Crested Flycatcher
House Wren
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 2 or more
Common Yellowthroat
Hooded Warbler (a "vicinity" first)
Baltimore Oriole - 2 adult males, 1 adult female
Unidentified Oriole - bright yellow-orange with a bit of black throat, singing 
 
and the usual suspects, in the narrow strip of Rock Creek Park extending both directions from the footbridge at the bottom of the 27th/Q St trail.

Later yesterday afternoon at Fletcher's Cover:
 
Red-shouldered Hawk overhead (and what I think was a RS, on a nest)
Warbling Vireo
Prothonotary Warbler
Orioles heard but not seen
