Also near the Mall: on C St., just west of 7th St., SW, just east of the Forrestal (Dept. of Energy) building, there was a singing wood thrush, just at dusk.  If he is still there, singing, in the AM, I'll send another email.  Very unusual location, but this is migration, and the trees there are pretty tall.
