Good evening,

I'm glad to hear the Hoodies are back at the Bull Run Plaza pond. I always 
look forward to their arrival. I've been watching them every winter for the 
past four years. At one time last year, there were 28 of them. I've also seen 
a Snow Goose, Bufflehead (4), Caspian Terns (4), and a Green Heron there. The 
pond behind the Circuit City across the road (Rt. 234) held 6 Redheads for a 
month in January '99, I think. I would drive over there almost everyday, to 
check if they were still there. A Great Egret was present three years ago. I 
believe the pond at the Battlefield Industrial Center held a Long-tailed 
Duck..don't know the year.

BTW, who is the observer of the newly arrived Hoodies at Bull Run Plaza?
