Hi all just a quick note to say that   in Centreville on 7 - 23   at  Rt 304 
and  301  near the back entrance to the State police barrecks  were 2 
recently fledged  young Black Vultres  free flying but not far  just into 
the woods from the power pole they had been on.  Had mostly black  feathers  
but still some white downy feathers around the neck  spigs on the  back . No 
parents seen . would they be on their own  or still cared for by  the 
adults?  For atlas purposes   would that be confrimed or just possible ? I 
would guess its confrimed. On 7 - 24  back at  Rt 304 near 301 heading in to 
Centreville near the park and ride on that same side of the road was  a  
Solitary Sandpiper in a ditch with some some water chasing and eating  
tadpoles. quite interesting  to see.. Central Sod farms on John Brown Rd had 
7 killdeer and 1 Horned Lark.


Happy Birding
