All,
Sorry for the tardy post, but we have been without power well into this evening.
Between 3:00-3:45 p.m. today the following notables were recorded at College 
Creek, James City County, about 3 miles from Williamsburg.  Ernesto's heavy 
rains and strong north easterly winds had given way to a southeast breeze and 
steady drizzle.

White-rumped Sandpiper-2
Black Tern-23
Sooty Tern-1 immaculate adult
This is the fourth local record for this species, not unexpectedly all of which 
have been associated with tropical weather systems.
