Spent a few hours birding at Loch Raven Reservoir this morning between 8:30-11:00 AM.  Highlights were three immature bald eagles standing next to each other on the ice between the upper dam and the bridge on Loch Raven Dr.  They seemed to be playing around.  A single Snow Goose was resting among dozens of Canada geese in the water near the parking area by the second dam.
