Today around 10:30 am, two juvenile plummage BLACK TERNS were flying around
the bay on the Potomac River side opposite the stone bridge just south of
Alexandria VA (just before you reach Dyke Marsh.) They were both fairly far
away but were clearly gray terns with black patches around the head and
white areas on the head and neck. They flew and dipped as these terns would
around the matted vegetation in the bay.
Shorebirds were small in numbers with about 10 KILLDEER, 6 SEMIPALMATED
SANDPIPERS, 2 LEAST SANDPIPERS, and 1 GREATER YELLOWLEGS.
Lots of the ususal suspects of Gulls, terns, Ospreys (big numbers), BALD
EAGLES, and waterfowl were present as well.
