We walked from Violette's Lock to Blockhouse Point on the C&O Canal towpath yesterday late morning. Earlier that morning, Jim Green saw about 40 Redhead, two American Wigeon, and about a dozen Common Mergansers at Violette's. We didn't see the Wigeon, but did see the Redhead, even more Common Mergansers, and a lot of Ring-necked Ducks down at Blockhouse Point.
A complete list follows from my eBird report.
