[Breep@xxxxxxx]

The latest arrival to my patch was a beautiful white-eyed vireo, which in 
fact seemed to have a dark eye (first-year bird?).  At my feeder, I noticed 
two house finches exhibit crusty eyes, the first time I've seen evidence of 
the finch plague.  A late afternoon paddle in Little Hunting Creek with two 
four-year-olds and another dad turned up my first martin of the year, at 
least 2 rusty blackbirds, a Caspian tern, a handful of killdeer and greater 
yellow-legs, an unidentified flyby shorebird (snipe?), at least 30 wood 
ducks, osprey, a sharpie, a probable Cooper's, a red-shouldered, 1 or more 
kingfishers, a singing thrasher, and at least two male mallard X black duck 
hybrids.
