Only had a couple of hours this AM as have to be in Warrenton by noontime
for an appointment, but lots of birds and we probably only scraped the
surface. Best bird the continuing (apparently, it's always in the same
place) YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER in Brookside Gardens near the Viburnum
collection and a MARSH WREN at the south end of Pine Lake in the reeds.
Still good numbers of catbirds, robins and flickers. Several small warbler
flocks as well.
