Hi everyone,

Got out for a little birding in Cumberland this evening.  The Potomac was 
frozen above the dam, and the open water lasted for about 3/4 of a mile 
below it.  The area was loaded with waterfowl!
I had 4 Cackling Geese on the grass across the river in West Virginia among 
hundreds of Canada's whose flock stretched across the river and up onto the 
bank on the Maryland side.

Common Goldeneye  14
Hooded Merganser  25
Common Merganser  1
Herring Gull  2
Ring-billed Gull  4
Mallard  Lots
Canada Goose  300+
Cackling (Richardson's) Goose  4
Ring-necked Duck  1
Redhead  4
Canvasback  16
Bufflehead  40
Lesser Scaup  1
Cooper's Hawk  1
American Kestrel  1
American Black Duck  2
American Coot  6

Good Birding!
