While passage migrants were practically non-existent (the exception being a
Blackburnian Warbler), this morning's Fairfax County Bird Count in Wakefield
Park nevertheless found 57 species, many of them FOS for that park. Note only
a single White-throated Sparrow, which had been an abundant species on Friday
- must have all left for their summer vacation!
