We did the Sunday morning walk at Dyke Marsh along the Potomac this morning.
Was cool and breezy with a few good birds to be found. The trail is closed
about half way down for trail repair until December and this may be part of
the reason that no one else (!) joined us today.
Highlights are the 1 Winter Wren and 4 Rusty Blackbirds.
