I visited Pleasant Valley (Fairfax County park land on Old Lee Road south of the golf course) today for one hour and found good variety. Highlights were a WINTER WREN and SHARP-SHINNED HAWK. Excellent close looks at the Wren - it was extremely cooperative. The Sharpie was in the air. It made several slow circles, climbing a little, not going anywhere in a hurry - possibly beginning a spiral for altitude.
