Hi everyone,
 
A hardy group of four birders woke up early this morning for Warbler fun at Ft. Totten and Rock Creek Cemetery in DC.  Unfortunately, it started out extremely slow.  Nothing was calling and after 2 hours at Ft. Totten we had a grand total of 2 Warbler species and not many birds.  We moved two blocks west to Rock Creek Cemetery, expecting the same but instead found all the missing Fort Totten birds hob-nobbing with their friends in the Cemetery.
