Reports of Cave Swallows and other "reverse migrants" on the 
shores of the Chesapeake inspired me to do some local birding 
today.  Thought I would check out Violette's Lock to see if any of 
those had wandered up the Potomac.  Did not have any luck with 
that, but did find the juvenile MOORHEN I reported earlier (first 
November eBird record for the County) at Hughes Hollow.  The water 
was quite high there, and the bird was hugging close to the shores 
of the small island on the left.  Also ran into Jonathan Alderfer 
who was just doing some casual birding.

There was also a CACKLING GOOSE at Triadelphia Res.--with a small 
flock of Canadas near the dam, an overflight of 250 TUNDRA SWANS 
very high in the sky, and 14 AMERICAN PIPITS at Summit Hall Turf Farm.

Good birding!
