In one hour this morning at Runnymede Park (in Herndon, Fairfax
County) I found small numbers, but a nice variety including a couple
or 3 probable migrant warbler species and 4 woodpecker sp.
The behavioral highlight was in the parking lot on Herndon Parkway,
where a Pine Warbler gave vigorous chase to a Bluebird. The latter
joined a group of 3 others on one side of the parking lot. The Pine
Marauder perched low on a pine on the other side, then proceeded up
that tree, then up a neighboring pine. He was patrolling the area near
his namesake trees.
