[va-bird] Common Moorhen and other waterfowl at Accotink 11/27/05

I visited Pohick Bay and Accotink Bay late this afternoon and found large
numbers of American Coots and Ruddy Ducks, but not much else.  The
highlight(?) was a Common Moorhen feeding on the far side of Accotink Bay
roughly opposite the archery field.
