Just back from a lunch-time walk around Hain's Point, with this to report: Generally things were pretty quiet and thin: land birds included the resident chickadees, titmice and Song Sparrows. Winter visitors included the usual Ring-billed, Herring and Greater Black- backed gulls, as well as a Golden-crowned Kinglet. A couple of highlights: An immature Bald Eagle (quite dark, perhaps a 2nd-year bird) fishing next to the Maine Ave. fish market, an immature Cooper's Hawk soaring over the northern part of the point, harassed by a phalanx of starlings, and a Horned Grebe out on the Potomac.
