During a lunchtime walk I found some new ducks at Constitution Gardens:
3 Ring-necked Ducks (2 male, 1 female), a pair of Redheads, and a pair
of American Wigeon, among the usual Canada Geese, Mallards and coots. A
Great Blue Heron was also fishing there.
At the DC Veteran's Memorial, there was a large flock of mixed
American Robins, Brown-headed Cowbirds and starlings.
Finally, at the FDR memorial (lawn side) a Cooper's Hawk perched in a
large elm was keeping all the other birds quiet and invisible.
