[va-bird] Quantico Creek

Yesterday there was a female Northern Harrier hunting over the Quantico Creek 
marsh near the outflow of Dewey Run.  I also observed a very dark buteo that 
was marked like a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk.  This hawk was soaring 100-200 
yards high, but since I was out there without my binoculars I can't vouch on 
the species.

I went out again today, but the raptors were absent.  I did see a dozen or so 
each of Killdeers and Wilson's snipe.  Also, saw one winter wren and one wren 
of the genus Cistothorus but it disappeared before I could verify the species.
