[va-bird] White Pelican continues at Accotink Bay WR, Ft Belvoir, VA

Watched the white pelican in roughly the same location at Accotink Bay WR
(across from the archery range) at Ft. Belvoir from about 11:15AM until 3PM.
 It spent most of the time we were there on a small clump of mud near the
western shore, sleeping and preening.
 
Also present: 
an armada of 60-70 ruddy ducks 
seven or eight lesser scaup 
seven tundra swans 
six great blue heron on a short stretch of shore 
white throated sparrows were everywhere 
white breasted nuthatch 
two blue jays 
cardinals 
red bellied woodpecker 
carolina wren (heard)(couldn't help it) 
American crows 
and lots of others that more experienced birders wouldn't have missed.
