Virginia birders might be interested in this sighting from, presumably,
Chincoteague NWR. Forwarded from MDOsprey...

Sorry for the out of state report. Saturday I went on my weekly trip to
Assateague VA. I normally go on Friday but I was at Ocean City MD
watching
Storm Birds. hilights of this trip to Assateague VA are the Following.
1 Canada Warbler ( Life Bird )
1 Wilson's Phalarope
1 Buff breasted Sandpiper
50 White Ibis
And to top it off, a male White - Cheeked Pintail at Snow Goose Pond. (
Even
though it's most likely an escaped bird, It my be a wild one that was
blown in
by the storm. ) A beautiful duck and another Life Bird. If any one is
interested in seeing the pictures I took of the Pintail E- mail me.
Birding forever
