Dear Mr. Howard:

        Yes, he's still there off of Eisenhauer Ave.  We saw him around
noon today.

        Wow, Wytheville is a long way off.  If when you get in the area
you would like some help locating Barney feel free to give me a call at
(703)461-3030.

        Here are your directions:

        Take I-66 East about 70 miles to the Capitol Beltway and exit
onto it at I-495 South to Richmond.  Then take the Beltway about 12-14
miles (you'll pass some major exits for I-95 S. to Richmond and I-395 N.
to Washington, but just keep going straight) until you come to the
Eisenhauer Connector Exit.  Get off there and turn right at the light
onto Eisenhauer Avenue.  Take it not even a mile I think to Cameron Run
Regional Park on the left.  There's a big parking lot there and you can
look over the Wave Pool area, the miniature golf course, Lake Cook, and,
across Eisenhauer Ave., Cameron Run.  Hopefully, he'll be in one of those
places.  If not, you can turn right out of the parking lot and drive a
few hundred yards to an entrance on the left to a ball field where he has
been seen also.  That ball field has two levels, so check both of them
out.  Hopefully, there will be other birders there who can help you.

                                Good Luck!                               
Edna Aaron
