I saw my FOY EASTERN KINGBIRD this morning around 6:50 on my walk across 
the Strathmore Music Center grounds to the Metro in North Bethesda.  It was 
perched on a short fence around a small impoundment pond only about 12 feet 
from the carriage road, giving me a great look at its back and tail with 
prominent white tip.  Yesterday, what looked to be the right shape and size 
for a green heron flew out of that same impoundment pond and landed in the 
top of a small tree not far away.  I didn’t have my bins and the light was very 
poor, so I couldn’t get a good enough look to make an identification.
