[va-bird] NY Monuments, Manassas Battlefield

[Susan Heath <sheath@xxxxxxx>]

All,

I spent about an hour at NY Monuments in Manassas Battlefield (Prince 
William County) this morning.  Despite the overcast conditions there 
were a lot of birds.  Identification was a challenge in the muted light  
however.  Warblers included Black and White, Magnolia, Redstart, Common 
Yellowthroat, Chestnut-sided.  The best bird was a Philadelphia Vireo 
(bird # 237 in Prince William County for me) hanging with several 
Red-eyed Vireos.  There was also a White-eyed Vireo singing non-stop.  
Others - many Scarlet Tanagers, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, House Wren, 
and many flycatchers.  I didn't try very hard to sort them out since the 
light was so bad.

Here's hoping Ivan clears out quickly.

Sue
