Hi Everyone,

This morning Paul Pisano, Frank Hawkins and I birded Hains Point (DC) from 7 - 9 am.  We had high hopes that the rain and winds from the coastal low would push some interesting birds up the Potomac river, but as the morning wore on, we realized we wouldn't be that lucky.  Nevertheless, we had some nice birds including a PRAIRE WARBLER, BONAPART'Sand the highlight being a singing NORTHERN WATERTHURSH.
