Those of us who joined the intrepid Carl Van Doren for a WBC-sponsored
walk to the falls  this morning were treated to a saucepan* of
Broadtails, a pair of Caspian Terns headed downriver, both of the
fledglings on the Eagle's nest, lots of Cormorants, two Spotted
Sandpipers, and amazingly aggressive displays of Mongolian
neck-wrestling between Mallards competing for the attention of a single
female.  Beyond that, lots of other expectable stuff for a total of 53
spp.
