Not much else of interest: 5 Palm Warblers (plus two more further south along Indian Creek), 2 alternate plumage Common Loons at close range on the water, One late Red-necked Grebe. Caspian Terns in groups of 2 or 3 are regular here this time of year so I didn't pay much attention to the ones at Lake Artemesia, but 12 on the mudflats at Bladensberg seemed like a high count for this area.
