A Cackling Goose, probably the same one that others have seen from 
time to time in West or East Potomac Parks, District of Columbia, was 
with a flock of several hundred Canada Geese this morning, January 9, 
on the extreme north part of the Hains Point golf course.

An Orange-crowned Warbler and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet were spotted in 
the same area of Anacostia Park as previously reported by several 
birders.  There was an adult winter Lesser Black-backed Gull on the 
iced up Anacostia River, sitting in with Greater Black-backed and 
Herring Gulls.  Another gull looked suspiciously like a 1st winter 
Lesser Black-backed, but it was too far away for me to be certain.
