I found numbers lower by about half, and the composition the same as yesterday (2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls this morning). No white- winged gulls were to be seen. A quick stroll over to to Constitution Gardens revealed a big flock of geese between the Gardens and the Vietnam Memorial, including the Greater White-fronted Goose. Another bird for my Mall list!
