[va-bird] Good Sparrow showing, Huntley Meadows, Frfx Co, 10/24/03

VA BIRDers,

The cold front pushed down a fine group of sparrows into the Huntley Meadows 
marsh this morning.  Here are my estimated numbers of a very busy dawn along 
the boardwalk.

Field Sp 2
Song Sp 50
Swamp Sp 65
Lincoln's Sp 2
White-throated Sp 55
White-crowned Sp 1
Junco 1

Also noted were Cattle Egret, 3 Sharp-shinned Hawks (incl one wonderful adult, 
prob. female), 2 Red-shouldered Hawks, 5 Greater Yellowlegs, Yellow-bellied 
Sapsucker, E. Phoebe, 2 Gray Catbirds, and a Common Yellowthroat.

I think this weather should result in a good sparrow showing for Fairfax 
Audubon Society's Fall Sparrow Field Trip this Saturday.  There are a few slots 
open for our visit to North Forks Wetlands tomorrow morning - drop me a line if 
you're interested.
