[va-bird] First Landing SP, Lynnhaven Inlet, Loch Haven Park, & Ft Story 11/27/05

I birded for a few hours at several spots in Virginia Beach yesterday 
(11/27/05) morning.  There wasn't anything unexpected although I did see a 
couple of late sightings (according to the 1987 Blue Book, but that's another 
story!): Osprey - I saw two adults at Lynnhaven Inlet (late date is 10/30 for 
coast) and  Royal Tern - one adult at Ft Story behind Harbormaster bldg (late 
date is 11/25 for coast).  A complete list of species seen follows (for 
brevities sake, combined list for all locations here).
