The regular Thursday morning birding group consisting of Gerry 
Hawkins, Helen Patton, Sally Wechsler, Lou Demouy and I birded along 
the close-in (to the Beltway) part of the C&O Canal towpath this morning, 4/19.

Highlights were 2 COMMON RAVEN at Carderock Recreation area, a GREEN 
HERON in the canal, an early GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER along the Berma 
Road just up from Old Angler's Inn and a FOY singing SCARLET TANAGER 
at the same location.  Warblers seen and heard included LOUISIANA 
WATERTHRUSH, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, and NORTHERN PARULA, in 
addition to Yellow-rumps.

When having lunch at the nearby shopping center in Potomac, we had a 
couple of CHIMNEY SWIFTs overhead.
