[va-bird] Hunting Creek Storm-Petrels; a Postscript

VA Birders,

    After posting Rob Hilton's report on the bird he and Lisa Shannon 
identified as a Band-rumped Storm-Petrel on Sep. 19, I talked to 2 other 
birders who 
had been at Hunting Creek (Alexandria-Fairfax Co.) earlier that afternoon.  
Both of them reported seeing 2 storm-petrels when they were there.  One bird 
was 
identified as a Wilson's Storm-Petrel.  They thought the other bird was 
probably a Wilson's also, but it was not close enough for a positive 
identification 
to be made.  The second bird might well have been the same bird that Rob 
Hilton later identified, after studying it carefully for 2 hours, as a 
Band-rumped 
Storm-Petrel.  

Good birding,
