On Tuesday there was an Arlington County van trip to Point Lookout.  There
were more ducks than we have ever seen there.  Most of the ducks were easily
seen from the fishing pier.

Here are some of the birds we saw:
Eared Grebe, one, at the point on the right side near the pilings.
Common Loon, many
Horned Grebes, many
Greater Scaup, 100+
Oldsquaw, 100+, also vocal
Surf Scoter, 100+
Common Goldeneye, 100+
Bufflehead, 100+
Red-breasted Merganser, 2
In the picnic area:
