We have had HOME in Taylors creek since the 8th and two pair just came motoring 
in a moment ago.  Our very favorite birds!

Also, a check of my records indicate they were first seen on November 8th or 
9th in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
This makes me wonder about site fidelity...are we seeing the same birds?

Hooded Mergansers have been on Lagrange Creek near Swanview Drive since before 
Nov 4.  My friend who lives on Swanview Drive reported this to me.  Lagrange 
Creek is just upriver from Robinson's Creek which is just upriver from Urbanna 
on the Rappahannock.  
This seems quite early to me as I usually don't usually see them on my cove 
(Heath's Cove) or Robinson's Creek until early December!  I look for them an my 
Buffleheads every day when I am walking my dogs.
