Today at lunch, most of the interesting birds were near the 

FDR Memorial.  In the shrubs and on the field between

the Memorial and the Potomac, there were flocks of 

American Robins, Canada Geese, Brown-headed Cowbirds

and Starlings.  There was a Hermit Thrush at the south

end of the Memorial.

   At the boat dock on the Tidal Basin were a dozen 

Greater Black-backed Gulls, a few Herring Gulls and 

a dozen Ring-billed Gulls.
