Hi All,
A late morning visit to McMillan Reservoir in DC turned up some interesting birds (18 species) over 20 minutes. Highlights included LBBG (2), and a late Season Osprey. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a small swift/swallow coursing over the water, but couldn't relocate it.
Here's the full list:
Canada Goose 35
Mallard 9
Ring-necked Duck 11 Northeast end - good looks with scope (probably continuing birds)
Ruddy Duck 1 continuing male from June?
Pied-billed Grebe 4 (possibly even a 5th)
Horned Grebe 1
Double-crested Cormorant 2
Osprey 1 flew low right overhead and chased by 2 crows
American Coot 3
Laughing Gull 2
Ring-billed Gull 60
Herring Gull 40
Lesser Black-backed Gull 2 2 resting on buoy (took photos)
Great Black-backed Gull 1
Mourning Dove 1
American Crow 3 calling and chasing Osprey
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 in Juniper trees
European Starling X
Good birding!
