[va-bird] Tropical Storm ISIDORE



Brian Sullivan phoned this morning from near the Aquarium at New Orleans, 
Louisiana, to report dozens of Magnificent Frigatebirds moving northward 
along the Mississippi River with the landfalling ISIDORE.  If past storms are 
any indication, the Mississippi River Valley, Tennessee and Ohio River 
Valleys, and perhaps westernmost Virginia could see a few frigatebirds today 
or in the next few days.  Areas with large lakes seem to be the best places 
to look, but these birds can appear anywhere.  Folks who staff hawkwatches 
should be especially keen to watch for frigatebirds; there is a remote 
possibility of Sooty Terns turning up in the interior as well.  If out 
driving in rain or wind, use plenty of caution; if flash-flooding is a 
possibility, avoid flood-prone areas until the threat is past.
