[va-bird] Blue Ridge Center ,Loudoun County

Va-birders ;
 
     The strong winds and sub  zero temperatures kept both the birds and 
birders low in numbers this  morning but most people eventually got onto some 
good 
sparrows in the meadows  around the visitors center. No major rarities but 
did record Red-shouldered  Hawk , Red-tailed Hawk , Eastern Bluebird , Raven , 
Downy W/P , Red-bellied W/P  , Pileated W/P , Brown Creeper , Cedar Waxwing 
,Golden-crowned Kinglet , Am Tree  , Field ,Song ,White-throated Sparrows and 
Dark-eyed Junco amongst more usual  winter residents. The Blue Ridge Center for 
Environmental Stewardship is under "  new management " and you can read of 
their future plans on their website _www.blueridgecenter.org_ 
(http://www.blueridgecenter.org)  .
 
  This is also my last posting to Va-bird as I am migrating  permanently to 
Colorado next week. So to all my friends in the Virginia  birding community at 
Banshee Reeks NP , Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy , NVBC ,  VSO , Eastern Rivers 
Rappahannock NWR , MOS etc farewell and come and see  me in Colorado Springs 
on any visits west you might make.
