On my way to Warsaw today I saw 2 Red-shouldered Hawks perched 
alongside Highway 3. At George Washington Birthplace skeins of Canada 
Geese filled the air. A Crow topped a tree with a pair of Bald Eagles 
in it. A male Northern Harrier eating lunch on the ground relocated 
ten yards further away when I stopped the truck to watch. Bufflehead 
were easy to spot in the Potomac off the beach. Goldfinches, Bluebirds 
and Robins crowded the edges of the road through the woods. At the 
picnic grounds there were tons of Tundra Swans in the cove.
I stopped at the Muse Rd. end of Rt. 624 near Flat Iron Corner on the 
way home. Several fields were filled with Canada Geese. The wind was 
brisk but I could see several Long-tailed Ducks, some Scaup, and some 
Common Goldeneye with more Bufflehead on the river. Back at George 
Washington Birthplace the Northern Harrier floated over the fields. A 
Red-tailed Hawk was watching the pond at the beach end of the road. I 
could only see one Bald Eagle this time, but an American Kestrel and a 
Red-shouldered Hawk evened things out.
