The Audubon Society of Northern Virginia held a midweek bird walk this morning
at Bles Park in eastern Loudoun County. Participants enjoyed great looks at a
Blue-headed Vireo, a Northern Harrier coursing low over the scrub, and 50 or
more Ruby-crowned Kinglets that seemed to be with us at eye level all morning.
