[va-bird] Eurasian Wigeon in Norfolk

The kids don't get up as early on Christmas they used to, so I had some time in 
this morning to watch bird activity in the yard while wating for my teenagers 
to awaken.   Things started well with an Orange-crowned Warbler and a Nashville 
Warbler, both of which have been hanging out here since Thanksgiving, makng an 
appeance.  After a little while a flock of a dozen or so wigeon flew by and 
settled in the water.  I was able to get my scope on them an was pleased to 
sight a drake Eurasian Wigeon cruising by, a most excellent addition to the 
yard list and a nice Christmas present for me.   The ducks were all in a small 
cove off of Catalpa Street in the Larchmot area of Norfolk.  There are quite a 
few coves in this portion of the Lafayette River, so the Eurasian Wigeon may 
pop up in any one of them. 
Merry Christmas everyone!
