Gravelly Point, Virginia

Gravelly Point is a bit of land just beyond the Reagan National Airport runway.  It is a great place to watch airplanes taking off.  But always a lot of birds in this area, and a major bike/hike trail runs through the park.  Lots of activity.

While watching the airplanes, I also saw this cute girl feeding bread to the waiting ring-billed gulls.

In the caves, the nesters use long poles to collect the nests from areas where this is possible.

This bit is from a wonderful science museum for kids in Roanoke, Virginia.  I will have a few more pics to post later, but here are some to start with.
