Hello VA-Birders,

I took a trip to Remington in Fauquier County today and saw many Horned Larks, 
as well as more than two dozen Eastern Meadowlarks.  Later in Nokesville I 
finally caught up with the Brewer's Blackbirds after five tries, two females 
and two males that extracted themselves from the mixed flock of Red-winged 
Blackbirds, Starlings, and Cowbirds and briefly alighted in a tree offering 
great views.  The birds were not in their "usual" place across from the church, 
but were at the intersection of Aden and Fleetwood Roads across from the store. 
 There were lots more White-crowned Sparrows than I usually see along the road 
between that intersection and Park Gate Road.

A little while ago I returned from Creagerstown, MD and was able to see the 
Lapwing with the crowd of onlookers from various places.  It's almost more 
interesting to see the birders who show up to these spectacles than the bird 
itself!!
