Folks,

Still lots o' duck at Piscataway Creek, nr the Potomac River.  I stopped by
during lunch, watching the activity whilst munching a Gordita.  This would
make a good CBC practice stop for identification and counting ducks.  Except
for the Canvasback numbers, I estimated everything else.  (Is this place
covered in any CBCs?)

Pied-billed Grebe - 6
Great Blue Heron - 6
Tundra Swan - 100
Am. Black Duck - 50
Mallard - 200
No. Pintail - 12
No. Shoveler - 400
Gadwall - 250
Am. Widgeon - 12
Canvasback - 475
Ring-necked Duck - 1000
Greater Scaup - 1 (maybe 2)
Lesser Scaup - 500
Bufflehead - 350
Hooded Merganser - 6
Ruddy Duck - 300
Am. Coots - 50
