Yesterday afternoon there was an adult female American avocet in the
northern lagoon at Hughlett Point NAP, Northumberland County, lower
Northern Neck. There were also several tri-colored herons, eight
semi-palmated plovers, three least sandpipers and a smattering of
sanderlings. Hundreds of double-crested cormorants on the pound nets off
shore, four blue-winged teal, Forster's and royal terns, osprey, great blue
herons and the expected gull species rounded out the list.
