Yes, that happened on Friday or yesterday (Saturday) I believe. 😢

But then they flew north, according to this observer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150568493. Watched closely with several hundred new friends for over two hours. They flew off at 5:12. They did not appear to have been flushed by any human activity. They flew south for perhaps a mile, then turned out farther over the lake, and then turned back and flew north for a long time. I lost them out over the lake, but they should be looked for to the north.

The flamingos flew south at some point before sundown.

And 3 tv news camera crews I believe

Ah, thanks! I'm glad I didn't do this puzzle yesterday.

I didn't play yesterday. What was the bird?

It might be a young Blue-footed Booby (large dark bar on the underwing). Hopefully someone who has seen more than two or three Brown Boobies close up will weigh in.

Agree, Brown-headed Cowbird

I'm at 207 species, 1 behind last year, all pretty close to DC/home. I've still haven't seen a handful of uncommon species that I saw last year; hopefully I can see all of them by the end of the year.
