VABirders:

    I thought some people would like to know that on our sister site, MDOsprey 
( http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/MDOS.html ), people have been agog all 
week about a Townsend's Warbler at Noland's Ferry Road.  The TOWA is a very 
colorful bird that is normally seen west of the Rockies.

      For Northern Virginians, the easiest way to get there would be to go to 
Leesburg and take Route 15 across the river and turn right on MD28, Tuscarora 
Rd.  Then turn right on New Design Rd and turn left into the parking lot.  Or 
you could continue to the three-way intersection, where "the middle option is 
Noland's Ferry Road, which, after merging with New Design Rd., ends at the 
parking lot where the Townsend's Warbler has been seen."
