["kechias Chiasson" <kechias@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Virginia Birders,

  I was at Burke Lake around 7:00pm and there are now 10 Common Loons in a 
group.  To get the closest view just follow the road toward the Amphitheater.  
Walk across the railroad tracks and scan the lake in that area right across 
from the Amphitheater.  This was the same location for 3 of them the day before 
at lunch time.  I thought I saw a Red Throated Loon off to itself in the same 
general area, but further across the lake.  I couldn't be sure because it was 
getting dark and my lenses kept getting slightly fogged from the mist of rain.

  There are also Ruddy Ducks, American Coot, Common Merganser, and Hooded 
Merganser.  Didn't count the number of these.
