  Greater Scaup                         1 with Lessers in the Tidal Basin

  Red-breasted Merganser                3 in the Tidal Basin 

  Red-shouldered Hawk                   putting on a great show

  Horned Lark                           1 flew of KP 

  Tree Swallow                          c.10 over the marsh 

  American Pipit                        c.5 over KP

  Fish Crow                             large, vocal flock at KAG 

  Yellow-rumped Warbler                 1 at KAG 

  Field Sparrow                         1 at KP, 2 at KAG
