Spent an hour on the Bayview Trail at Mason Neck State Park
this morning (Friday, Jan. 29th).  Possibly because I was
the only person there, bird sightings were great!  Whole
rafts of Buffleheads out on Belmont Bay, a small flock of
Tundra (Whistling) Swans near the shore, a mixed flock of 
Mallards and American Black Ducks taking off, and, best of
all, a close-up view of a mature Bald Eagle taking off
from his perch right next to the path!

Facility update: the park has just installed a paved trail
to the campfire area and the osprey overlook platform, making
both accessible to the handicapped.
