I was able to visit Gravelly Point again Sunday from about 1:30 to 3 PM (taking 
my family with me for some quality time) to try to refind and photograph the 
flycatcher, but it wasn't around.  There were hundreds of people there, so not 
a whole lot of bird activity other than a Mocker and some Songs.  I did not 
hear the Meadowlark at that time like I had earlier.

There were many ducks out toward Hains Point flying around, but distance 
was not on my side and they appeared as tiny specks.  With what I could 
gather from the wing pattern/shape and overall body coloration, I think they 
were a large number of Goldeneye, which would be quite a collection if true.  
Did anyone else see them from Hains Point?

Thanks,

Jay Keller,
