VA BIRDers,

Although it was windy, on the lee side of the moutain Marc Ribaudo and I 
found a few birds of interest although we were hard pressed to find some 
obvious migrants.  Most interesting bird today was a Brewster's Warbler Type 
hybrid singing a Golden-winged song near the end of the earthen dam at lower 
Thompson.  Further up the trail as well as in the parking lot, only 
Blue-wingeds were encountered.  We also ran across good numbers of 
Blue-headed Vireo and Rose-breasted Grosbeak, most were in the upper Thompson 
areas.  Ceruleans were intially a bit hard to find, but most were 
concentrated along the down slope trails at parking lot #6 - perhaps due to 
the wind.  Below are the statistics for today's endeavors.
