[va-bird] Roaches Run & extralimital Trop Kingbird

Hello VA-Birders,

I have been checking out Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary in Arlington the past 
couple of weeks.  Not a lot going on there as yet, but I noticed that 22 HOODED 
MERGANSERS showed up since last week.  There are also 3-4 PIED-BILLED GREBES 
there, and lots of gulls at low tide.  There was a PEREGRINE FALCON and an 
OSPREY there last week as well, but not today.

On another note, a Tropical Kingbird is being seen in eastern NC about 60 miles 
south of the VA border, if anyone near the border is interested in taking a 
trip down there.  Here is what was mentioned on the NC RBA from today:

"A TROPICAL KINGBIRD was located near Lake Phelps in eastern NC on Nov. 21. 
Look around the Tyson Grain elevators at the beginning of the road that goes to 
the west end of the lake. DeLorme map lists the road as Keep Rd."

Take Care,

Jay Keller,
Arlington
