VA Birders,

    I spent the last 2 days of 2004 birding and getting a little exercise in 
a couple of my favorite local birding spots:  Dec. 30 at Roaches Run, across 
from Washington National Airport, and Dec. 31 at Fort C.F. Smith Park, both 
here in Arlington Co.  Birding highlights at Roaches Run were:  34 Hooded 
Mergansers, 6 Pied-billed Grebes, and 1 Black-crowned Night-Heron.  At Fort 
Smith on 
Dec. 31, my best birds were 1 (or possibly 2) Red-shouldered and 2 Red-tailed 
Hawks, and 1 adult Bald Eagle which flew over quite low in excellent light--a 
great year-end bird!
