VA BIRDers,
I visited Huntley Meadows from the Visitor Center side early this morning
and late this evening. Highlight was a Green Heron that flew in off the
main pond landing in a tree opposite the tower this evening. Other
highlights for a foggy mourning and completely overcast gray evening are
below. 51 species noted.
