[va-bird] Brewers Blackbirds and Lapwing

[Jay Keller <jlkeller999@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 
Lappie
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!!
