A noontime walk around Hains Point today (4/13) produced the following:
Small flocks of American Coots in the Washington Channel, Double-crested
cormorants too.
   On the golf course, east side, a flock of 6-8 Northern Flickers,
foraging in the grass.
   At the tip of Hains Point, 2 dozen or so Bonaparte's Gulls foraging
in the garbage accumulating in the convergence at the point.  Also
several d-c cormorants, Ring-billed Gulls, Greater Black-backed Gulls
and one Herring Gull, also a Common Loon in winter plumage.
   On the windward side (make that WINDward) of Hains Point, along
the seawall, 6-7 Savannah Sparrows, and an Osprey fishing in the river.
