[va-bird] Birding in the rain

VA Birders,
I was up an out at daylight this morning for a 4 mile bird walk here on
Compton Mountain. It had been raining, but had stopped, I thought. After a
mile or so the rain began to pour. It was nice walking in it, something I
hadn't done for some time. The birds were enjoying it too. The highlights
were, a Barred Owl, 3 American Redstarts and a hen turkey with 7 poults.
