Hello Birders,
I spent a couple of hours between 5 and 7 pm downtown looking at the river.
Notably the Iceland Gull was still present on the rocks off Browns Island.
Other Gulls included 5 Great Black-backed, 2 Ring-billed, 3 Bonaparte's, and
about 40 Herring. Other migrants of note included a female Bufflehead,
several Purple Martins, and Barn Swallows, and about 100 Chimney Swifts.
Also it appeared that there might be 2 or 3 pairs of Great Egrets at the
heron rookery. Osprey and Double crested Cormorants,and Great Blue Herons
were plentiful. As I was leaving a Peregrine made a fly by appearance.
Good Birding,
Arun Bose
Richmond
