Hi all,

  Did some brief birding along the C&O canal, the weather being nice and all. Pennyfield was birdy, but I missed the Blue-wing Teal.
Also made a short visit to Rielly's Lock.  Pretty much the same birds reported earlier. This evening at home flock after flock of Canada Geese flew overhead going N/NW. Must have been several hundred birds. 
 Here's the list:

White winged Scoter
Black Scoter (bad lighting on water)
