It was a hot, muggy and slow morning. The walk was finished in under two hours.
Our group of four tallied 39 species. There was a bumper crop of fishermen
so the river was quiet. The most plentiful birds were families of titmice and
jays. Above the falls, the warbling vireo continues to serenade us. All are
welcome to join this regular Sunday walk that meets at 8:00 am in the
visitors center parking lot. -- Marshall Rawson, McLean VA
