Fine-Feathered Morning

It's about 6 a.m. It's beginning to get light, and Rock Creek Park is filled with the sounds of birds. There's already one bird team out this morning, led by Stuart Pimm, and other teams are getting ready to head out for their species inventories.

Overnight, several groups went out on "owl prowls," looking--and listening--for hooters.
