Riverbend Park, Fairfax County. Virginia
Last week, I watched a huge raft of Redhead float down-river towards the rapids and then fly up-river, only to float down again. We have had multiple White-winged Scoters on the Potomac and nearby, which I have never seen before.

There have been large rafts of Canvasbacks, at several locations.

There have been Common Goldeneye, seldom seen on the upper Potomac.

And there has been lots of ice and frozen river.
Just as amazingly, we have had an historic influx of Snowy Owls. A owl was seen multiple times on buildings in Downtown Washington, until it finally got hit by a bus and taken to a rehab center.
Two owls have been seen at National Airport for nearly a month now.

There was, and still is, even a Snowy Owl at the local Springfield Mall.

And, the winter is hardly over yet. Stay tuned, and I'll try to post updates as they occur.
