We took a "Sunday drive"  and ended up getting  a seafood dinner (nice,
expensive and not crowded) in Chesapeake Beach.  We were surprised that
the
drive is only about 50 miles from the DC Beltway at Route 270. While
there,
we drove along the beach front, walked along the North Beach Boardwalk
and
out on the public piers to  scan  (with binoculars) the nice raft of
ducks
relatively close to the Bay shore. The results:

Horned Grebe - 1
Snow Goose - 1 (injured wing)
Canada Goose - 1 (attracted by gull & Mallard feeders)
Mallards
Canvasback - fair numbers
Redhead - about 10 ( in most northern raft of ducks)
Greater Scaup - numerous
Lesser Scaup - 2
Oldsquaw - several
Goldeneye - fair numbers
Bufflehead - fair numbers
Red-breasted Merganser - 1
Coot - a few
Adult Bald Eagle - 1

Happy birding, Dan Eberly
