Many thanks to Bill Hubick and John Hubbell for cluing me in to their WW 
Crossbills on Wrighton Rd and the drake Barrow's Goldeneye on the 
Patuxent River found by Tyler Bell and company.  Scope views of the 
Barrow's were terrific, though it was just far enough to make 
digiscoping difficult.  Due to the position of the birds and the sun, I 
found it necessary to scope the ducks from a little bit further down the 
dirt road than the previously described pier.  I found the blue 
head-gloss interesting on this bird - perhaps it was the harsh light.  
The field marks are striking.

I hope I don't steal Bill Hubick's thunder, but I know his photos will 
best mine : )
