We had five participants on this beautiful morning and spotted 44 species.
Louisiana waterthrushes and gnatcatchers were back. Bluebells, spring
beauties, Dutchmen's breeches, toothwort and vinca were blooming along the
trails.
This Sunday walk meets at 8:00 in the visitors center courtyard and all are
welcome. -- Marshall Rawson, McLean VA
