Thanks, Paul, for setting clarifying the record.  

After I sent off my last Sooty Tern post to MDOsprey yesterday, I headed down the Virginia side of the river.  I stopped at Roaches Run (after 4:30 pm), Daingerfield Island, the mouth of Hunting Creek, and Bellehaven Picnic area.  No  out of the ordinary birds at any stop, not even a Common or a Black Tern.  However, the velocity and volume of muddy water churning out of Hunting Creek and into the Potomac was astonishing, and saddening.  

On my way home I stopped at Gravelley Point and ran into some Virginia birders.  We saw Gary Allport at Hains Point, but no unusual storm birds.  By this time the sky was clearing and the sun was shining.  

Best,
