Canada Geese, Tundra Swans, Ruddy Ducks, and Redheads were at Pope's Creek in

easily ID. Here's my list. Many of the larger numbers include estimates of
large groups.
Tundra Swan 156
Canada Goose 2,631
Mallard 43
Am. Black Duck 58
Gadwall 48
Redhead 420+ a large raft on the Potomac. I saw another
large group (250+) fly in later near the
headquarters building, but didn't add them
in as I wasn't sure of they were different from
the other group.
