 I hit some birding spots for the BBA2 today.  This morning, I checked out 
Point of Rocks, where an Osprey is attempting to build a nest on one of the 
light structures at the ball field.  Between the high tide and wind, the water 
level in the marsh was very high, and I spooked a Greater Yellowlegs, not a 
particularly common species in the county.
This afternoon I was at Mid-Lothian Mines, where I heard my FOS Blue-headed 
Vireo and saw a White-breasted Nuthatch sporting a blue band on its left leg.  
Anyone know anything about this?
