[va-bird] Potomac River from Roaches Run to Riverside Park

The Potomac River was active with waterfowl this warm January  Saturday.  The 
highlight was finding 9 REDHEADS (4 males, 5  females) at the pull off on the 
George Washington Parkway between  Collingswood and Waynewood Rds. between 12 
Noon and 1 PM.
 
The thirteen species of ducks I observed included all three area  MERGANSERS. 
Separate rafts of AMERICAN COOTS were seen at the above  described pull off, 
at Collingswood Park, and at Riverside Park, maybe 500 to  600 birds in total.
