Had a nice morning walk on Teddy Roosevelt Island, in D.C. waters of the Potomac this morning, Monday, November 5.  First part was a Nature Conservancy sponsored bird walk, then I continued on my own.  Mostly the usual suspects for this time of year, but a Blue-headed Vireo, 2 Hermit Thrush, a Cooper's Hawk, a Bald Eagle, and 6 Wood Ducks were nice sightings.  Full report from eBird is below.
