Observation Narrative ? Openly wooded, gravel/cobble bar on Potomac River channel shelf. This bar is slightly higher than both an extensive cobble flat closer to the river, and a cobbly channel on the opposite side, both of which are basically unvegetated. The habitat is flooded/inundated annually but appears to be quite droughty during the late summer draw-down period.
