     Hi gang,
     
     Just thought I would mention that the web is a great resource for 
     information about parks and wildlife refuges.  
     "Http://www.assateague.com/bird-alp.htm" has a bird list like you get 
     from the park office for Chincoteague Wildlife refuge plus a map 
     showing Assateague and Chincoteague.  This weekend I was at Violette's 
     Lock (C&O Canal) and saw about 10 Bonaparte's Gulls that appeared to 
     be feeding while circling low over and landing in the rapids  (Potomac 
     River).  What I found interesting was that they distinctly preferred 
     the rapids rather than the adjacent calm water.  Happy birding, Dan 
     Eberly
