The view from marina near the mouth of Occoquan Bay did not produce much of
great interest, although a group of 6 Lesser Scaup were noted - as well as a
group of hunter's decoys off one northern point with scaup, geese, and other
"species" of plastic birds in attendance. Has the season started already???
