 I did my annual pilgramage to MD Saturday to help in the C&O Canal Count. 
David Buckley volunteered as well...
 
Best birds were a Phoebe close to the river around the 7.5 mile mark and a 
nice Female   COMMON GOLDENEYE  right at mile marker 8. Bird was swimming close 
to shore at first, but then flew into the middle of the river. High water 
washed most of the waterfowl downstream, so the COGO was a nice scoop...
 
Mile marker 8 is just downriver from the beltway bridge over the Potomac...
