Hi all,

  As Gail mentioned, the difference a day makes; much slower birding today in my usual haunts along Rock Creek and Beach Drive. While looking up (with bins) at a Bay-breasted Warbler, foraging high in a Black Walnut a white small drop came down from the sky and hit my glasses-the bird pooped on me!  I'm gonna blame the Purple Grackle that flew by at almost the same moment!  No respect- I'm telling ya!
