Paul is correct, the times in my Saturday evening posting on the Prince Georges County Sooty Terns were off by an hour.  The two birds (adult and juvenile) passed Ft Washington at about 1540 EDT.  And I neglected to identify the "we" in that message:  I was with Jon Dunn (who spotted the birds) and Jonathan Alderfer.
