Paddling the Potomac at Algonkian Park in Sterling, Virginia

Hot, crotch pot cooking hot, as I think Robin Williams said in “Good Morning Vietnam.”  Nonetheless paddling up the river even in the hot sun felt good.  There was a bit of a breeze which I thought was working against me with the current as I went upstream.  For whatever reason or my lack of direction, the breeze was blowing back against me as I headed back down river.  Murphy, eh?

I believe this is a Double-breasted Cormorant.
