BBG this morning: nothing besides house sparrows until I got into the native plant garden, where there was this cooperative northern waterthrush (in a tree, yet), one or two hummingbirds, and a red-eyed vireo, all in the same area.

HOODED WARBLER/Nighthawk Prospect
A HOODED WARBLER male continued into the late afternoon , early eve , the bird found by Gus Keri late morning in the southwest fence area of the Quaker Cemetery.. I didn't hold out much hope in the late afternoon but chanced it finding this good warbler.
Viewing from the mulch trail just west of the cemetery main gate, I uttered a quick "phish", and it worked. The handsome Hooded appeared to my right , upon a dead large timber. For the next 15 minutes, working along the cemetery fence towards me, sometimes perched in the fence, it ended up in a pokeweed stand.
Back later again with Bob O'Neill, I saw the bird again but it offered a quick flash as it went back the other way and inside abit the cemetery. A nice bird to see, my real intent to finding this bird and whatever. Up on Lookout Hill, quiet and expected on a warm day, CHIMNEY SWIFTS overhead in in good numbers. But surprise as I spotted a COMMON NIGHTHAWK along the south slope, a flyover heading Southwest/west.
There was a an assortment of warblers. Gus reported some nice ones, see his report in a previous post. I found besides the Hooded, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH in the same spot.James Merwin reported BLUE-WINGED WARBLER across the Center Drive. See his note before.
There is according to Accuweather a quick north/northeast wind before it turns south late into the night. But whatever, go birding if you have the time, though early if you can.

Hi Peter,
It was a good birding day today.
the highlight was the Hooded Warbler which was near the Quaker's cemetery at the junction of West and Center drives. It stayed in that area for almost 30 minutes, initially near the big fallen tree and then it made its way eastward, toward the entrance of the cemetery. Also, I saw Nashville Warbler and Ovenbird in the same area. At the Rick's place in Midwood, I saw a Blue-Wing Warbler near the steps below Rick's place and a Worm-Eating Warbler at the horse path. Also noted Chestnut-Sided Warbler in three different places (lookout hill, Quaker's cemetery and the Midwood)

Prospect on east wind
In my first weekend venture into the park in many weeks, a simple casual stroll to look for some birds despite an east wind. Not much for expectations but anything worth it spending time just at Lookout Hill.
Thanks to Torin Waters, finding a CHESTNUT SIDED WARBLER with a BLACKBURNIAN helps make the morning. Later a report of PRAIRIE WARBLER in the paper mulberry tree above the Maryland Monument steps was reported along with ORCHARD ORIOLES.I got the latter with Gus Keri and Patty O'Kane.Also seen were BALTIMORE ORIOLES. I had a flash glimpse of a shorebird flyover very low at that spot but my guess was likely Solitary Sandpiper.
For me,Patty and Gus, it was the soaring REDTAILED HAWK being harassed by a pair of AMERICAN KESTRELS over the summit that delighted us. Later we also saw a soaring OSPREY,a prelude towards fall hawk migration.Earlier at Butterfly Meadow,AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES were active; I saw a GNATCATCHER being harassed by a Hummingbird at one of the low branches of the Pin Oak.
A list later after some Saturday errands.
Observers met: Joshua,Rachel,Torin,Patty,Gus

Prospect
From Linda Ewing
Hi, Peter! As I mentioned when I saw you this morning, I had good luck with
water thrushes (northern, I presume, but I don't pretend to be able to tell them
apart): 6 sightings of at least 3 birds . . . in the Vale, by the south side of
the Lake (across from 3 sisters), and repeatedly in the Lullwater (probably
multiple birds but not sure).
Highlight was a male indigo bunting - molting but with lots of blue visible -
by the butterfly meadow. Also on Lookout were both northern and orchard
orioles.
Other than that: lots and lots of black and white warblers, yellow warblers and
hummingbirds. Also saw at least two spotted sandpipers working the south shore
of the lake.

Eni Falci and Michele Dreger also reported several waterthrushes as well possibly a Louisiana at Ricks Place.
