Hi All,
After checking out Rock Creek Park early this morning, I decided to see how Ft. Totten Park (DC) was doing. At first it was DEAD, but then I was hit a great Warbler flock with a pair of wonderful BAY-SIDED WARBLERs (including a male with lots of "bay color" on it's flanks. A little later I found another Warbler flock in some scrubby habitat at the extreme northern edge of the park near a service road. Highlight of that flock was a WILSON'S Warbler. In total there were 13 species of Warblers seen over 90 minutes.
One thing I noticed was they birds seemed to be moving very fast - almost frantic...
Here's the total list from eBird:
Red-tailed Hawk 2 both birds seen perched at different times/locations
Ring-billed Gull 1 flyover
