Our group of nine tallied 34 species this morning. Highlights included good
looks at yellow-billed cuckoo, scarlet tanagers and barred owl. There was
lots of activity between the second and third overlooks. All are welcome to
join this regular Sunday walk that meets rain or shine at 8:00 am in the
visitors venter parking lot. Thanks to Ralph Wall and Sally Wechsler for
leading last week. -- Marshall Rawson, McLean VA
