A fairly slow morning along the Anacostia River today, but I did 
see my first-of-the-fall Laughing Gulls and Forster's Terns.  
Didn't get a count of the gulls (in the 10's), but counted 11 
terns, including one very fresh juvenile with extensive brown 
on the back.  It begged incessantly, but none of the adults 
seemed to take notice.

At Kenilworth Park there were c.20 Killdeers and 2 Least 
Sandpipers.  That giant mutant white and gray goose that's 
been around off-and-on for the past few years was back with 
the Canadas.

Good birding,
