So, some photos.

And the bird of much searching, a bar-headed goose in a flock of Canada geese.
Okay, so we froze our eyebrows off for that bit of birding.  But we also hit Riverbend Park to see about the birds on the Potomac River.  Still cold as an iceberg in Alaska, but we refused to let the cold stop us.

Thanks for the nice comment. That thrush was surrounded by limbs and vines and whatnot. And yes, you were there, you know the bit about me walking around the tree for some time trying to get an angle that showed the bird, and the troubles of getting good focus on the bird through that mess of stuff. But I got the shot and really only because you found the bird in the first place.
