Folks,

I stopped by the mudflats of Hunting Creek, just off the GW Parkway, today, 
27 June 99, about 1630.  I spotted a Least Tern hanging out with the 
Forster's Terns.  Otherwise, not much else there yet but the Forster's are 
sure in!  (At least half adult) The count:

Gr. Blue Heron - a smattering, 4 or 5 I noticed
Gr Egret - 5, but 9 were present on 25 June as well as a Green Heron flyover
C. Goose - 100 or so
Mallard - 14 or so
Osprey - 2 (juvie in nest)
Killdeer - 4
Laughing Gull - 1
RB Gull - 20
Gr BB Gull - 30
Caspian Tern - 1
Forster's Tern - 35
Least Tern - 1
