Before and after a luncheon meeting at one of the restaurants lining the
Washington Channel in Washington, DC, today, November 9, I birded briefly
nearby. Highlights:
in the Washington Channel along Hains Point:
1 Ruddy Duck
1 Lesser Scaup (hen)
in the Potomac River just upstream of the entrance to the Tidal Basin:
16 Bufflehead
At Hains Point, in the area north of the picnic area and rest rooms that is
surrounded by chain-link fence, where the NPS keeps mulch:
1 MERLIN (female-plumaged, possibly a young bird)
