I spent about an hour at Lake Artemesia this afternoon (from 2:30 
to 3:30, roughly) but was unable to relocate either the Black-
crowned Night Heron or the American Pipets reported earlier today 
by Robert (nor, for that matter, the Cliff Swallow that I saw on 
Tuesday).  I did see 7 Caspian Terns (I never tire of watching 
them) and 3 Ospreys (one with a large fish).  Also, the 2 Common 
Loons were still present.

However, I got my real consolation prize late this afternoon when I 
took the dog down to Greenbelt Lake: a pair of Blue-winged Teal 
(male and female).  They were in the little sediment pond at the 
South Bay end of the lake - a nice addition to my "neighborhood" 
list.
