What for should I mark private variables as private if they already are?

Question

As far as I know, in C# all fields are private for default, if not marked otherwise.

class Foo
{
  private string bar;
}

class Foo
{
  string bar;
}

I personally prefer marking the default private and default public fields explicitly. You may well know the defaults but your brain will like verbosity whenever you quickly scan the code.
