Hi, 

A brief note to say that there were almost no storm-related species at the
Wilson Bridge over the Potomac River south of Washington DC early this
morning.  Lisa Shannon and I joined Sherman Suter under the bridge.  The
most interesting bird Sherman saw before we arrived: a small tern with the
Forsters in Maryland waters south of the bridge.  If my recollection serves
me right, he may have said it was a Least Tern, a very uncommon visitor to
the DC area.  At one point I caught a glimpse of a small, long-winged
white-looking bird, smaller than the Forster's Terns, flying downriver in
the same area.  The winds were maybe 20 mph out of the north quadrant.  

I'm off to check water bodies in Montgomery County, Md., and may not be at
my computer/office until some time after lunch tomorrow.  

Best,
