I birded Lake Fairfax for a couple hours this morning, in advance of tomorrow's
Audubon bird walk there. The most notable sighting was an American Woodcock
that I flushed from the brushy area below the spillway.
The Audubon Society of Northern Virginia will hold a bird walk in the park
tomorrow. We'll meet at 0730 in the parking lot near the new visitors' center.
All are welcome.
