I stopped at Rocky Gap (on a tip from Ray Kiddy) on the way home from 
DC today and had some decent birds.

First I stopped at Big Pool (aka "Big waste of time Pool"; 
when there are boaters everywhere it really is a mistake to 
bother stopping).  

This place doesn't open until 11:00 am in winter either.  
Does that seem like a reasonable time to open a park ?  
Anyway I did see a Great Blue Heron and an Eastern Phoebe.
