Hi all --

Pretty quiet and slow today at Rock Creek Park DC. Most of the action seemed
to be in the Maintenance Yard, which had a collection of hopeful birders. No
Golden-winged (not unexpectedly) but somewhat redeemed by a very cooperative
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER which sat up in the famous vine tangle for a good
preen, showing off all its features including its remarkably yellow
underwing area. Probably a juvenile -- buffy wingbars, short tail,
fresh-looking plumage (adults would look worn now, they molt on their
wintering grounds after migration). The other main action was a squabbling
group of Baltimore Orioles. (Addenda are welcome)
