This morning, as my commuter bus crossed the bridge on East
Capitol St. over the Anacostia at about 7:05 a.m., I noticed
that the trees on the north side, east side of the island,
were festooned with quite a few large, white blobs.  I counted
fifteen as we sped by, but there were more.  The low light, 
the sun having not risen yet, made a definite i.d. impossible,
but I suspect they must have been Great Egrets, Snowies being
unusual this far inland.
