Geese and ducks at River Towers in Winter

Winter in Northern Virginia can be a little bleak at times. The foliage is gone from the trees, and the grass is a little beat. But River Towers is teaming with life. A flock of Canadian geese winters here at the creek which surrounds River Towers.  One of the pleasures of  living at River Towers is the sound of  the geese when they take off together or come in for a landing.  From the higher floors of the high-rise residents can watch the geese fly by at eye level and almost within arm's reach--a beautiful sight. Winter berries add some color to the scenery. Ducks are here year-round, as they like the gentle waters of the canal. It's not a great time for a picnic, but it's always pleasant to walk through the natural areas surrounding River Towers. River Towers backs up against the Dyke Marsh, a national wildlife preserve that is home to a good many waterfowl and at least one pair of beavers that I've seen. Normally the geese stay close to the marsh and don't approach the buildings at River Towers, but I suppose this year, they've had enough of the snow.

If you're seeking a home that is close to Old Town, close to the Potomac and you don't want to break the bank, River Towers is a great place to investigate any time of the year.
