I have been going to eat lunch down by the Potomac River in Williamsport. I had a Common Merganser two days ago and a few Green-winged Teal yesterday. Today was completely different, there was over a hundred ducks and a distant tern. I thought at lunch it was a Forster's Tern, but upon returning after work some photographer guy suggested it might be a Common. Sure enough upon closer inspection he was correct. Rough-winged and Tree Swallows, first two flocks of Cormorants, and even more ducks in the evening were bonus.
