[va-bird] Birds Seen at the Blue Ridge Center (Loudoun Co) on March 26

Thirteen people participated in the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's bird walk at 
the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship (BRCES) in northwestern 
Loudoun County this morning, March 26.  The highlights of the 41 bird species 
seen included a couple of Turkeys, 4 Brown Creepers, 5 Fox Sparrows, and 3 
Eastern Meadowlarks.  We first walked the Farmstead Loop taking the Piney Run 
spur and then a smaller group walked a short loop on the south side of the 900 
acre preserve.
The new BRCES Executive Director, Kara Ball and new Conservation Intern, Laurel 
Woodworth joined us.
