["Paul Woodward" <grackling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

       I think that with the cool rainy weather we've had recently
nighthawks may be having trouble getting enough food and so they were
feeding at a time you normally wouldn't see them.  I know that at my watch
site in Fairfax City I have seen very few flying insects, especially
dragonflies the past few evenings.

couple of good pockets of migrating song birds with the majority at the
Staunton Dam . Below is a list of birds seen .
