Hi everyone,
Today I went to the Dulles Pond.  Not too much which is pretty
suprising.  There were a lot of Ruddy Ducks I counted 54. There were
also about 25 Ring-billed Gulls which is an increase from last week.
Lets hope there is another rare gull there this year.  Other birds
included 1 kingfisher, 8 Mallards, 5 American Coots, 1 Great-blue heron,
1 Song Sparrow, and a Cormorant acting like an Anhinga.  That was pretty
much it.  One last interesting thing, the last few times I have been
there I have noticed a Groundhog on the island in the center of the
lake.  Any ideas how it got there.  Can groundhogs swim???
