Hi all --

Not too exciting at KAG and KP but a few nice birds around -- at the Aquatic
Gardens, the singing Marsh Wren continues off side boardwalk viewing
platform, and one Snowy Egret out on the marsh at the end platform.
Shorebirds seem limited to Greater YL and Killdeer. Walk down the River
Trail yielded a family party of Orchard Orioles and little else, although an
adult Bald Eagle and an Osprey carrying what appeared to be a large bright
orange Goldfish were nice to see.

At the Park, two Pectoral Sandpipers with a group of Killdeer in last
parking lot, and a pair of Kestrels gracing the goalposts.

We drove through Anacostia Park as well, but best birds were some Great
Egrets and Forster's Terns.
