Hi, Peter! We had a great group of 7 people in total…no rarities, but good birds nonetheless. Highlights included a pair of ravens that greeted us as soon as we entered Bush Terminal, and a Peregrine perched atop one of the BAT stacks. We took our time and studied the various duck & gull species. 

Checklists from both Bush Terminal park and the Army Terminal pier follow:

I'll forward our (not very good) selfie separately. For some reason no one else was out in the cold and wind to help us out by taking a group picture.

Congrats on the Long-billed Dowitcher!
Linda
