[va-bird] RB Mergansers @ Upper Occoquan Sewage Plant 3/18

Greetings,

The sight of 22 Red-breasted Mergansers at the sewage treatment pond (in 
Centreville) this afternoon brightened the dreary day for me. Love those 
shaggy crests!

As I was leaving the area in my car, a pickup truck raced up behind me so I 
pulled over. A man who works there asked me if I was shooting video and I 
said no. I told him I was watching birds through a spotting scope. That 
seemed to satisfy him. I don't know if he was just curious or was acting in 
an official capacity, out of safety concerns? I've been going over there for 
about three years and at least a dozen times since Sept. 11 and have never 
been stopped until today.
