Swung through Hains Pt this afternoon (Sun, 10/12) and saw a BRANT on the
grass at the tip of the point, browsing with the RING-BILLED & HERRING
GULLS.  Presumably this is the same bird that Rob Hilton & I saw on the 28th
of Oct in the same area.  Two adult BALD EAGLES were perched together in the
largest tree at the south end of the golf course.

Also made a quick check of Georgetown Rerservoir.  Didn't look for the
Dunlin (too windy & cold and I was in running shorts), but did see more of
the same ducks there yesterday, which I failed to mention.  This included a
few RUDDY DUCKS, c.10 BUFFLEHEADS and c.25 RING-NECKED DUCKS.

Good birding,
