Morning cool and clear - tho' I got up at 6:10, did not waken Susan to 6:25, & got to woods about 6:55. when nearly back to car - about 9:10 - met Kerr of D.C. Audubon Society, who said that at Bluemont Junction on Wash. & Old Dominion R.R., he saw 2 Lesser Yellow-legs, several Wilson's Snipe, and 20 or so Solitary & Spotted Sandpipers. He was doing the "second Saturday in May count" for the D.C. Club.
Here goes, in check list order: Broadwinged Hawk, Sparrow-Hawk calling, Killdeer (3-4); 3 Spotted Sandpipers (two on the graveled area at 32nd & Underwood, one alighting beside a little pool in the road at 31st & Underwood, about 30 yds. from others); 2-3 Mourning Doves (2 at home); [[underlined]] Yellow-Billed Cuckoo [[/underlined]] (2) - one heard in distance in Glen Carlyn
