[va-bird] Afternoon along the Potomac

Hello Fellow Birders,
Interesting sights today while walking along the Potomac River between Gravelly 
Point and the Navy Marine Memorial.  Among the usual RING-BILLED GULLS, there 
was a HERRING GULL and two GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS.  Also present in the trees 
was a single YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, DOWNY WOODPECKER, and a few others.  In the 
skies overhead was a RED-TAILED HAWK and a soaring adult BALD EAGLE.  It's 
amazing the variety of birds you can see so close to a city with streams of 
traffic nearby.  Complete list follows...
