Hi all --

Barry phoned me from Hains Point, DC where he just finished doing the rounds. No Franklin's Gull but a few interesting birds, a couple of which hadn't been reported so far. He did find the GLOSSY IBIS, which was in a pool behind the second toilet block (on river side), the adult and several immature Bonaparte's Gulls, as well as a RUDDY TURNSTONE (a good bird in DC) this on the big pool north of the clubhouse (between Buckeye and Ohio Drs.), several PECTORAL SANDPIPERS south of the clubhouse on the wet grass, & a singing WILLOW FLYCATCHER.
