Flint Hill and Oak Marr, Fairfax, US-VA

Protocol: Traveling
0.2 mile(s)
Comments: Walked the edge of the campus and woods at the NW corner by the
dry pond as I put out seeds for today's bird banding session. Also walked along
the inside of the woods about 50 feet in. Lots of good birds today. I hope they
hang around for banding and I hope it doesn't rain.
