On Saturday, April 25th, I went into a small stretch of woods (about a half mile long) in North West DC that was made of deciduous tree that all had their leaves. There was a small pond in the middle that stretched the length of the woods and turned into a marsh area at the end. The weather was around 65º F, partly sunny, and no breeze. It had been raining for the past 4 days so the air was humid and the ground was still swollen with rain. There were puddles in the marsh area presumably from the rain. The trees were tall and dense making identifying species very difficult because it was hard to locate where specific calls were coming from. That being said, I observed House Sparrows, American Robins, Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Blue Jays, and a Mallard.
Many males observed but few females
Most observed on the edges of the forest
