Kyle Gardner posted this on a couple of GroupMe channels earlier today:
"I just spoke with the homeowner for the WETA who is asking that folks
DON’T park in “visitors”/un-numbered parking on Lake Park Drive. Instead,
park on Wanegarden Drive and walk to Lake Park Drive (there’s an easy to
access staircase here (39.1837907, -77.2877314))"
So PLEASE park ONLY on Wanegarden Drive!
Thanks,

By this time, many active birders have become aware that a female Western
Tanager is being seen at a private feeder in Germantown, Maryland,
Montgomery County.
We just set up a "stakeout-type" eBird Hotspot for this bird. This Hotspot
will be active on Sunday morning, December 8, and thereafter. It is called:
* "stakeout Western Tanager, Germantown (2024)"*
Please use this Hotspot if you see the bird (which we hope you do).
The neighbors here have asked birders not to park in the spots reserved for
residents. Please be very aware that continuing access to this western
rarity at a feeder is dependent on the good sense of birders. As always at
sites like this, please act as if the rare bird is on your very own
property!!
Thanks.
