Hi all,
I birded Greenbelt Lake for bit this morning. There are a couple areas of
open water and they are both crowded with water birds. The highlights were a
male Redhead, a female Common Goldeneye, and about 8 Green-winged Teals. The
Redhead was among the Ring-necked Ducks and the teals were sleeping on the
ice with some mallards. Full list below.
