["Daniel A. Cristol" <dacris@xxxxxx>]

The lesser black-backed gull is still following the Scotland-Jamestown ferry as 
of Feb 3.  It arrives like clockwork about one-third of teh way across, follows 
the 
ferry for awhile, and then departs before it gets to the other side.  The bird 
is 
now a full adult, having molted some brown wing feathers it still retained in 
the 
Fall and gained some brown in the head.  Several Bonaparte's gulls were among 
teh flock following teh ferry as well. 

I was interested to hear about the Nashville warbler in Va. Beach.  I had one 
on 
almost this date (Feb. 5) at my Williamsburg feeder 5 years ago.
