On Wed. Nov 2nd the Neotropic Cormorant flew downriver past Violette's Lock 
at 4:20PM, accompanied by one Double-crest. From my vantage point they appeared 
to overfly the group of cormorants loitering in the rapids 1/3 mile 
downstream from Violette's, and keep on going. A bunch of folks standing at the head of 
the rapids also saw the bird go by. I could not tell if the bird came from 
out of the golf course, or from upriver above Seneca.

The male and female adult Peregrines that were sitting on the rocks in the 
Violette's rapids on Sunday, were on Wednesday soaring over Carderock at noon. 
Perhaps they are attracted to one of the cliffs below Great Falls.
