We made a relatively unsuccessful visit to Violette's Lock, C&O Canal,
Montgomery County, today and did not see the previously reported Brant,
which may well have moved along.

However, just above the rapids at 2:00 p.m. there were

4 BUFFLEHEAD (2 drakes and 2 hens)
1 COMMON GOLDENEYE  (a hen)

Checking my records, it seems that the Goldeneye at least is a couple of
weeks earlier than we normally see this species in our area in mid-Maryland.
