[va-bird] Re: waterfowl arriving

Sue and other data-minded VAbirders,

On Saturday, 9/21, my son and I birded Belle Haven and Dyke Marsh.  We saw 
a single A.Coot hanging out with the Mallards in the vicinity of Dead 
Beaver Cove, or whatever those in the know call that spot along Haul Road.

My son, who loves Coots and whose license plate reads "Fulica," was most 
pleased!
