Hi all,

Thought today would be better than it turned out -- yesterday I was in 
Manassas (yes, in that unnamed territory to the south...) and heard a 
White-eyed Vireo calling near a friend's home. However, not much sign of 
migration here. Stlll, as always some nice birds to be seen...

The highlght was the continuing COMMON LOON at Pine Lake, which 
looked a great deal perkier than last week -- doing some short flights, 
flapping and best if all, quite a bit of yodelling! All those hatchery
trout 
must have been a treat...
