I don't know if this qualifies as unusual for the time of year, but on my way
home from work today I espied a Little Blue Heron at the edge of a small
backyard pond (~0.2 acres) on Gambrill Road between the Fairfax Co. Pkwy. and
Pohick Rd, south of W. Springfield. In all the years I've daily passed by this
pond, I've only ever seen the occasional Mallards.
