We birded Bull Run Regional Park as part of the weekend Fairfax county
count. We started at 0616 and ended at 1247. Miles by car 2, miles by foot
7. Weather was cool, in the upper 40's to start warming to about 60 by end,
light breeze throughout, clear at start becoming partly cloudy by end.
Our route was to do the park first by walking the road along Bull Run Creek,
then walking the Bluebell Trail to the intersection with Bull Run-Occoquan
Trail which we followed downstream until we came to RT 28. On the way back,
we turned onto the Cub Run Trail and followed it upstream to the Bull Run
Park Campground.

LINCOLN'S SPARROW and 1 WARBLING VIREO.
