ospreyers, In addition to the species Jim Felley noted in his report on today's mall birds, two caspian terns were fishing the tidal basin. On my return I added blue-winged teal to my mall list -- a drake and a duck were present on the small island in the pond at constitution gardens. migrant numbers were high, with at least a dozen each hermit thrushes and thrashers, and several dozen each chipping, white-throated, and savannah sparrows. good birding! rob Robert Weiner (rweiner@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu) International Business Department George Washington University Washington DC 20052 202 994 5981
