Mark and Others,

Looking at the map on the http://bikewashington.org/canal/ website, it seems that they mislabel Nolands Rd and call it Nolands Ferry Road.  I assume that Lydia et al saw the bird from the towpath.  In that case, it seems that she is describing the area just to the northwest of where Nolands Rd makes a 90 degree turn to the left when it meets the river.  The maps below should detail where I am talking about.  I might be misinterpreting her directions, however.

Below is a map from the bikewashington website:

Below is a map from google:

Sorry about any copyright infringements I may have violated.  Both of these images are a little difficult to find so I thought I would help people out.

Good luck to all who chase the bird tomorrow, and GO MOUNTAINEERS!

  Lydia - In looking at this area with map quest, Nolan's Ferry Road seems to
  run southeast from Nolan Road for some distance (maybe a mile or so), before
  deadening past Chick Road.  Were exactly along this stretch did you see the
  bird?  A lot of us will be interested!

  Thanks.
