[va-bird] Upland Sandpipers, Remington, Fauquier County

All,
Myself and several other birders found the 10 Upland Sandpipers easily
visable at the Woodward Turf Farm this morning around 8:00am. Best
viewing was from the small pullout with the chain across it along
Sumerduck Road about halfway down the length of the sod farm. I heard
two Dickcissels singing in the soybean field and was able to see one
perched on a wire though the lighting was not good. Along Grassdale
Road there were 9 American Kestrels hunting from the wire that leads
north out into the field on the north side of the road. Seems too big
to be a family group so I'm not sure why they were all together. I've
never seen that large a group except on the eastern shore during migration.
