[va-bird] Monticello Park, Alexandria

All,

I spent a couple hours at Monticello Park in Alexandria this morning.  
Despite the fact that it's May 26, there were plenty of birds around 
including at least one Mourning Warbler and possibly two.  There was one 
seen at the lower end of the park and another seen at the upper end of 
the park about 30 minutes apart.  I think it was probably two different 
birds, but you can't be sure I guess.  Other birds seen and/or heard in 
the order that I remember them (!):

Blackburnian Warbler (one)
Common Yellowthroat
Tennessee Warbler (one, missed my me unfortunately)
Canada Warbler (a lot!)
Wilson's Warbler (I saw a female but later heard one sing so there must 
have been a male)
Black and White Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided Warbler (at least six)
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Blackpoll
American Redstart
Scarlet Tanager
Swainson's Thrush
Acadian Flycatcher
Blue Grosbeak

and probably some other stuff that I forgot!
