A great day with a good number of bird species. The best was a male Eastern Bluebird seen between the Tennis House and the pools (Great Lawn).
Two individuals of Pine Warblers were the only warbler sps during the walk.
While I was at the Ravine, a Common Raven flew over, vocalizing. At the lake, I counted 6 Great Blue Herons, and 2 Common Merganser.
A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew near the Maryland Monument, and perched for a little while.
