VA Birders:

    Yesterday (Friday, Nov. 7), I went to Roaches Run, Arlington Co., to see 
if any Hooded Mergansers had come back yet.  I did not find any ducks except a 
few Mallards, but I did have a late Osprey and 2 Pied-billed Grebes on the 
big pond across the G.W. Pkwy. from National Airport.

    At Gravelly Point, just north of the airport, I had some Brown-headed 
Cowbirds and a few Red-winged Blackbirds in with a flock of Starlings.  This 
was 
perhaps the beginning of the big blackbird flock I have found there in 
previous winters.
