I saw about 6 black terns over the Potomac off of Leesylvania SP in
Woodbridge, VA.  One group of 5 was heading down river.  I later saw a
single bird flying upriver.  The park and the surrounding area was
pretty slow, otherwise.  I saw three warblers, a parula and two others I
could not id as they flew.  I saw many robins, mostly flocking in the
fruit-bearing trees.  I don't recall seeing robin flocks this early
before. My imagination? Here is a list of what I saw.
