Hi All,
    I was out for about an hour and a half in Patterson Park today enjoying a slow but steady stream of migrant birds. With a few exceptions, there were no high numbers of birds today, but rather great variety. The full list follows:
Mallard 27
Am. Black Duck 1
Great Blue Heron 1
Black-crowned Night-heron 3
Cooper's Hawk 1
Ring-billed Gull 3
Herring Gull 1
Rock Pigeon 10
Mourning Dove 3
Chimney Swift 16
Belted Kingfisher 1
Northern Flicker 1
Am. Crow 5
House Wren 1
Eastern Bluebird 1
Gray-cheeked Thrush 1
Wood Thrush 2
Am. Robin 12
Gray Catbird 7
Brown Thrasher 1
Ovenbird 1
Common Yellowthroat 8
Northern Cardinal 4
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 4
House Finch 9

I was also at Druid Hill Park today, primarily for my zoo volunteering, but I got a chance to observe some cool birds, most of them woodpeckers. That list is as follows
Red-shouldered Hawk 2
Red-tailed Hawk 1
Herring Gull 3
Great Black-backed Gull 7
Mourning Dove 2
Great-horned Owl 1
Chimney Swift 6

Warbling Vireo 1

Happy Birding!
