Went out this morning on River Rd and other parts of the county.  
 
Highlights were:
 
Summer Tanager - one, possibly two birds.  Female first seen on shoulder of River Rd c 350 yards before Summit Hall Turf Farm entrance and gave very good looks.  It was spooked by a car but remained in the area, calling frequently.  Driving on another 150 yards I heard another Summer Tanager calling but could not see it.  It might've been the same bird but I doubt it given the distance.  I've seen them in DC several times but can't recall seeing on in the county.
 
Dickcissel - continuing male on Westerley Rd at last year's spot.
 
Vesper Sparrow - one singing further along Westerley Rd right next to 20500.
 
Blue Grosbeak - several locations along River Rd.
 
Good birding
