 Everyone else seems to be seeing warblers but me!  But today,
 I did find 2 Black-and-white Warblers and 1 Magnolia Warbler
 skulking around the DC Veteran's Monument at lunchtime (mine and
 theirs).  Also a silent _Empidonax_ which strongly suggested a
 Least.  That was it for obvious passerine migrants.
    On another note, it seems to me that this is a very late
 breeding summer.  I'm still seeing starlings and robins that
 look as if they just stumbled out of the nest.  Also, there
 are still Eastern Kingbirds flying about the Mall, when the
 last one I usually notice is sometime in early-mid August.
    Go figure,
