One was at the mouth of 4-mile Run, and 10 others were working the large patch of hydrilla off of Alexandria (viewing was from the end of Oronoco St. in Alex.). I could see the 4-maile Run bird well, and it was clearly a juvenile - brown back with dark gray upper wings, rump and tail; heavily marked with dark gray on the sides of the upper breast and down the flanks. The others looked the same, though they were too distant to be sure they weren't basic plumaged adults (saw nothing approaching an alternate plumaged bird).
