Gentle Readers,

Mary Floyd and Harry Glasgow led the Monday Morning Birdwalk at Huntley Meadows 
Park today, October 4, 2004; it was a partly cloudy day with calm winds and 
cool temperatures.  17 Birders saw 59 species of birds; those birds observed 
included the Red-headed Woodpecker, Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue, 
Yellow-rumped, Palm, Blackpoll, and Black-and-white  Warblers.   The Northern 
Parula and the Common Yellowthroat also were present.  It was an uncommonly 
fine day for birding.
