[va-bird] Birds Seen at the Blue Ridge Center (Loudoun Co) June 25

Thirteen people participated in the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's regular 
monthly (every 4th Saturday) bird walk at the Blue Ridge Center for 
Environmental Stewardship in northwestern Loudoun County this morning.  The 
highlights of the 53 bird species seen were 1 YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, 2 PRAIRIE 
WARBLERS, 1 KENTUCKY WARBLER, 3 GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS (one at the fire station & 
two at the farm), and great views of YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS.  We entered from 
Sawmill Rd & took the shorter Sweet Run loop.  After this we spent about 20 
minutes walking around the visitor center & the farm.
