Hi All,
 
This morning Lauriane Streit and I went out to bird Ft. Totten Park and Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington DC.  We started at FT Park at 7:30 am, and the birding began a little slowly, but it really heated up around 8:30!  
 
In total we had 16 species of Warbler and some good thrushes.  The only warbler seen at the Cemetery and not at FT Totten was a beautiful Male CAPE MAY WARBLER     .
 
Here's the eBird List - enjoy!
