All,

Well it is nice to be able to join a local bird posting list! Got up early 
this morning hoping Earnesto Did some birding locally the morning and tried 
to find some shorebirds but didn't come up with much. Leonard's pond was 
basically filled to the brim leaving no mudflats but there was a solitary 
Solitary Sandpiper present working the edges. At lake Shenandoah I found 4 
species of Raptors; Red-shoulder (immature), Accipiter, Northern Harrier, 
Osprey plus a lone Pied-billed Grebe. Blackburnian, Black and White, and 
American Redstart were spotted together flitting about in a berry tree of 
some sort (Mullberry?). Later I tried K's Pond where I met up with several 
local birders, however there were few birds around. We did see a single 
Solitary Sandpiper and a Green Heron  in the afternoon and also a  Coopers 
and 2 Red-tailed Hawks. Two ducks flew in and out and left  unidentified.

Good birding!
