VA Birders,

    Since it was on my way home from our NVBC walk at Huntley Meadows this 
morning, I decided to make a brief stop at Fort C.F. Smith Park in Arlington.  
My brief stop turned into 2.5 hours, during which time I saw over 30 species of 
birds!  Highlights were the pair of Eastern Bluebirds which have been seen in 
the park for more than 2 weeks now, a singing Brown Thrasher, and several 
species of raptors.  The latter included an adult Red-shouldered Hawk, which 
has 
been seen carrying nesting material, an immature Bald Eagle, and Cooper's and 
Red-tailed Hawks (one of each).  In addition, I counted 10 Turkey Vultures and 
1 Black Vulture.
