Hello,

    This morning I birded in both Clark Co and Frederick Co VA.
I stopped at three different locales 1= Shenandoah river (off route 50),
the Arboretum ( Blandy Farm), and White's lake in  Winchester.
    At the Arboretum I found my first Palm Warbler for the season and
4-5 Soitary Sandpipers.
    Heading north along Route 50  I  pulled off where the boat ramps are
located under the overpass for the Shenandoah river and birded along the
river for most of the morning.
