[KurtCapt87@xxxxxxx]

VA BIRDers,

Ed Eder lead the regular Sunday morning Field Trip at Dyke Marsh and reported a 
Philadelphia Vireo along Haul Road.  A few other warblers like Black-throated 
Greens and Magnolias, were noted, and some Pied-billed Grebes and American 
Coots dotted the waters of the lagoon.

Haul Road has been cleared of the major obtacles but significant clean up is 
still needed.  The National Park Service has a clean up day scheduled for Oct 
18.  Details are copied below.  Please come out and help, if only for an hour 
or two, as every little bit helps!

> Hello Everyone:

9

so

the
