Just back from a lunch-time walk around Hain's Point,
with this to report:  Generally things were pretty
quiet and thin: land birds included the resident chickadees,
titmice and Song Sparrows.  Winter visitors included
the usual Ring-billed, Herring and Greater Black-
backed gulls, as well as a Golden-crowned Kinglet.
A couple of highlights:  An immature Bald Eagle (quite
dark, perhaps a 2nd-year bird) fishing next to the
Maine Ave. fish market, an immature Cooper's Hawk 
soaring over the northern part of the point, harassed
by a phalanx of starlings, and a Horned Grebe out on the
Potomac.
