Hi all,



   Thanks John!! After drop off my sister's dog and cat at her place in D.C., decided to go to the park after heard about some good birds there. 
Still have some nice birds on a wet afternoon.  At the track & field area, there was a white goose in distance either a Snow Goose or a dom. goose.  I didn't have my binoculars with me. Hope someone in DC area could check it out.   This wasn't part of a birding trip.
