[va-richmond-general] Re: Ash-throated Flyc - Yes + Glaucous Gull again -...

Went down to the flood wall this morning to see the
ATFC but no luck. It rained most of the morning but
when the weather let up a did spot a few other
interesting things from the top of the flood wall:

-Spectacularly low fly over by an adult bald eagle
-two peregrines kiting over the federal reserve bank
building
-a Kestrel hunting in the train yard
-two American Black Ducks in the river

I looked for the Glaucous Gull but didn't spot it. I
did see an unusually small gull on one of the old
train bridge supports. Couldn't id it. I thought it
was a tern at first. It had a white head and gray
back. It was to far away to get any other details with
binocs.
