Hi All,
This morning I decided to take a quick spin around Hains Point to see what these NW winds might have blown in.
Surprisingly, I had 45 species including: 12.5 Warblers, 5 Raptors, a late Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and some Terns.
The .5 warbler was a mystery Warbler. I don't remember seeing it, but it showed up as a photo: [log in to unmask] " target="_blank">http: I have a bunch of ideas, but what do others think?
Closer to home, I couldn't relocate the Teal from yesterday, but a late SPOTTED SANDPIPPER flew in while I was there.
Here's the full list for Hains Point:

Ring-billed Gull 5
Great Black-backed Gull 2
Caspian Tern 1
Forster's Tern 15 flock of 11 entering Anacostia River and flock of 4 on Potomac. One of the birds on the Potomac seemed darker winged and I wanted to turn it into a Black tern, but not enough black on head. Could have been a Common Tern, but too far away to tell.
