Mallard

This evening we went to dinner at a restaurant by the Potomac River in Georgetown. While walking along the river we saw lots of birds and ducks. I didn’t have my big camera but I did have my iPhone. I took this picture of a Mallard swimming along. It’s not the best photo but it is another bird to add to the list.

New Birds

Today I went to the Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve to look for birds with a local bird watching group. It was very cold and windy and cloudy today. It was kind of tough to see some of the birds the group was pointing out. I didn’t see them all and I don’t remember all the names of the birds they said they saw but I did see some that I hadn’t seen or photographed before. As of today I’m up to 40 birds photographed in 2013. Here are the birds I saw today.
