Hi Everybody: I spent an hour early this AM looking for Dave C.'s BLACK
SCOTER which he reported on Monday afternoon. I had no luck finding it.
Other birds seen on the river included:

Mallard                        3
Amer. Wigeon              5
Redhead                     45-50 Constantly diving and in a cloeknit area.
They seem to be moving bigtime
Greater Scaup            40-45  (All appeared to be greater)
Common Mergansers      4   (all flybys headed downriver)

There were also 30+ American Coots upriver, 10 Horned Grebes (8 across the
river against the Va. shore and 2 upriver on the MD side) and one
Double-crested Cormorant.
I am leading an ANS/MBC trip that meets at Riley's Lock this evening at 5
PM. Maybe the Black Scoter will reappear.
