Location:  C&O Canal (Lock 38)

Observation date & time:  1/21/08, 7:20 am

Notes:  Very cold this morning.  The extra layers of clothes made it very
difficult to bird, but good considering.  I stayed out for about a little
over an hour until beaten by the cold.  I birded east along the towpath
about ¼ of a mile, but didn’t make it any further than a little beyond the
Norfolk Southern train bridge.  I believe there were more birds to be
identified, but the cold/extra clothing really affected my ability to locate
all the birds I heard.  That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
