VA BIRDers,
Very windy and chilly morning. Difficult birding at Julie Metz - highlight
was a Brown Thrasher, at best uncommon in No. VA in November. Also notable
was a Rusty Blackbird mixed in with Red-winged Blackbirds.
On the way home I braved the wind for a short while at Belmont Bay Marina
and noted at least 600 Gadwall in the bay.
