[pmkane1953@xxxxxxx]

All,

 Well, it was worth the wait. And, it was a real long wait too. But, to 
finally pick up a LeConte's, a life bird for me, on my own turf, on a 
gorgeous fall morning, with other birders I know and respect. Well, 
this was really an embarrassment of riches. Occoquan is a great place 
to bird, especially in the fall. But, it has always seemed to me that 
Occoquan is one of our under-birded local venues, especially in the 
fall.

 Went back to the refuge early this afternoon. I did not see the 
LeConte's again, but I did have both immature and adult white-crowned 
sparrows at the top of Charlie Road. Earlier this morning, Marc, Rich, 
Paula, and I looked at an immature white-crowned at the top of Charlie 
Road. In this same area this afternoon, I digiscoped a nice looking 
adult white crowned sparrow. The immature white-crowned was still 
hanging out too.
