Oh, and a Blue-headed Vireo was at False Cape SP in a mixed feeding flock.  It 
was found by Elisa Enders at the end of the South Inlet Trail.

Hello, birders.

I had fun birding with the VSO in Va. Beach and the CBBT this weekend. I saw a 
couple of species by myself that I don't think others had this weekend that may 
be of interest:

1 Osprey, early Saturday morning. It was soaring over the Lynnhaven Inlet.

1 large alcid sp. I assume it was a Razorbill given the southerly, near shore 
location? I watched this bird through my scope flying south just over the ocean 
at Back Bay NWR on Sunday afternoon. The bird was quite distant. After watching 
it for a minute, it got almost out of sight and then another bird came into 
view. By this time the birds had flown so far away from me that I couldn't be 
positive that this second bird was even an alcid. But one alcid is still cool. 
Sorry you missed it, Elisa!

Also, I just want to say that I finally got a 5 wren day at Back Bay/False Cape 
on Sunday. Small milestone maybe but I've been hoping to sweep the wrens here 
for quite a while and the birds cooperated at last. Yeah!
