Hi, 

A summary of this morning, October 1, 0645 to 0830, at Rock Creek Park, DC,
picnic areas 17/18:

Black-throated Green Warbler.  

There were actually other warbler species present, too, such as Blackpoll,
Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Black-and-White, and Black-throated Green
Warblers, and perhaps a couple of others.  Other migrants included
Sharp-shinned Hawk, American Kestrel (one each not too long after 0700),
Chimney Swift (up and flying high around 0700), Red-headed Woodpecker (one
perched on a tree just before 0830), Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-throated Vireo,
Blue Jay (maybe 75 or even more), Red-breasted Nuthatch, House Wren, Winter
Wren, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Ruby-crowned
Kinglet, and Black-throated Green Warbler.  A Monarch butterfly was
'sunning' in a tree too.  

We had to go our offices at 0830, grrrr.  

Best, 

Rob
