[va-bird] Am. Pipits and the Fort Belvoir CBC

VA BIRDers,

I was scouting for birds for this Sunday's upcoming Fort Bevoir CBC (as well 
as good para-sailing sites - great drafts at Lorton today by the way) and 
came across a group of 21 Am. Pipits that sat down in the grass near the Nike 
historical marker on Hoos Rd.  A few Red-tails and Am. Kestrels coursed the 
area near the co-generation plant.

For those of you looking to try out that new scope or binocular (or just to 
work off some of that "holiday cheer") there are many areas of the Fort 
Belvoir CBC that need good coverage.  Some imporant areas needing a few 
volunteers are the Fort Belvoir/Accotink Refuge, Occoquan Bay NWR and 
Leeslyvania SP, Gunston Hall, and the Burke Lake areas. All locations have 
river or lake access (and no freeze up this year!) making for great 
waterfowling opportunities.  For the gull afficienados, the Neabsco Cr region 
is an afternoon staging area for gulls before going to roost - maybe the 
California Gull will stop by again!  If you're interested, send me a message 
and we will try to match you with your preference.

Wishing Everyone Good Holiday Birds!

Kurt Gaskill
