[Susan Heath <sheath@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Greg and I got out early this morning to the New York Monuments area of
Manassas Battlefield.  The best bird was a non-singing Ovenbird chasing
a Hermit Thrush around.  I'm pretty sure I heard the Ovenbird say "Hey
buddy, this is my turf now, you need to head north!"

There was a thrasher singing its heart out and many Field Sparrows
singing.  Other birds include both kinglets, many Yellow-rumped
Warblers, a singing Pine Warbler, one nicely plumaged Chipping Sparrow,
a
Red-breasted Nuthatch and the other usual suspects - cardinals, song
sparrows, chickadees, titmice, red-bellied woodpeckers, juncos, etc.
