Hello, birders.

I paid my first ever visit to KAG this afternoon.  It
was a very pleasant outing.  After watching an adult
full-grown, begging Red-eyed Vireo being fed by it's
parent, I happened to look straight ahead to see an
adult YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON perched on top of a
snag.  This location is in the swampy woods at the
head of the River Trail before you reach the marsh
with the bench.  After a couple of minutes the bird
flew down to the ground to stand there and presumably
hunt.

From the end of the boardwalk, I saw 7 peeps fly from
the marsh.  A starling was flying with them.

Before going home, I swung by the Kwik-E-Mart in
Bladensburg!  It was awesome!  I grabbed a Squishee
and a Buzz Cola and took lots of pictures!  Woo-hoo!
