The Washington DC CBC Saturday included a new locale: Kingman and Heritage Islands in the Anacostia. (These appear on some maps as "Children's" and "1776" Islands respectively; a conservation story here.) Counters were Peter Vankevich, Judy Schaefer, Paul DeAnna, Lynne Cherry, Jim Dougherty. Jim invited our birding Mayor Tony Williams, who couldn't quite make it. Highlight was 232 Laughing Gulls huddled on a flat in the middle of the River - a. surprising number for DC in late December.
