My first posting. :)

While kayaking on Sunday morning on the Anacostia River from Bladensburg Waterfront Park to DC, we spotted a relatively fearless White-Winged Scoter diving and popping between our kayaks. It was there at 9:30am (start) and 12:30pm (finish).

Aside from numerous geese and flocks of mallards, we also spotted 1- Red-tailed hawk, 1- Red Shouldered Hawk and 1 curious Broad-winged Hawk that were perched close to the waters edge, as we paddled between Waterfront Park and Kingsman Lake by RFK Stadium that morning.
