Hello, birders.

I spent some time at the Visitor Center area of Riverbend Park in Fairfax Co. on a cold and windy Sunday afternoon.   An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL spent some time on a log in the middle of the river before flying off.  The sightings log at the Visitor Center showed that an adult Lesser, which I assume was the same bird, was seen on Jan. 8.

Waterfowl on the river, mostly near the Maryland shore, were:

Can. Goose, 12
Am. Black Duck, 2
Mallard, 3
Ring-necked Duck, 275 (mostly males)
Bufflehead, 10
Com. Merganser, 7
P.b. Grebe, 1
