[KurtCapt87@xxxxxxx]

VABIRDers,

I lead a few intrepid birders looking for birds in Shenandoah NP today, 
starting from the Panaroma parking lot where VA 211 crosses the parkway south 
to Big Meadows.  Highlight was a pair of Brown Creepers along the Limberlost 
Trail, at least one of which was singing.  The location was in the Hemlock 
area, where the trail crosses the stream via a bridge.  I really love the 
song of this species!

We also spotted an adult Broad-winged Hawk near the Stony Man area as well as 
many Veerys, Chestnut-sideds, a pair of Black-throated Greens, Cerulean, many 
Am. Redstarts, some Hoodeds and a Canada Warbler.  The statistics follow.
