Eight birders enjoyed the good weather this morning for the walk at Burke
Lake Park for the Northern Virginia Bird Club with participation by Audubon
Soc of No Va as well. Highlights included a very cooperative red-breasted
nuthatch at the feeder station, a merlin conveniently perched by the marina
pier, 3 hawk species, bald eagles, and 7 duck species, with a large flock
of common mergansers most numerous among them.
