Six people joined me for and extremely slooooow day at Dyke (Fairfax County).
The most disturbing thing wasn't what we didn't see, but what we did see.
Three cats were located in the wooded area along Marina Road. I hope this
isn't the start of a feral population. Without elaboration, I'll list the
