[va-bird] Blue Headed Vireo in Falls Church

VA Birders:
I visited Isaac Crossman Park in Falls Church this afternoon.  This is a 
small wooded park along Four Mile Run just upstream from the Arlington County 
line.  The trails are on the south side of Four Mile Run.  The north side has a 
lot of understory and is mostly inaccessible to people, dogs, deer, etc. So it 
is pretty good bird habitat. The park entrance is on Van Buren Street.  There 
is a limited amount of nonpermit parking (2 hour) on the street.  Amazingly it 
is only a mile and a half from my house yet I had never been there until 
today, thanks to a recommendation from Andy Anderson who told me about a 
Blackburnian Warbler he saw there last week.

The only warblers I saw this afternoon other than Yellow Rumps was a Common 
Yellowthroat.  But I did have my first Blue Headed Vireo of the year bathing in 
Four Mile Run. In addition there seemed to be a pair of Catbirds every 
hundred feet or so for the length of the park.

This morning at Ft. C.F. Smith in Arlington I saw my first Indigo Bunting of 
the year as well as my first R.T. Hummingbird.
