[va-bird] Re: Huntley Meadows Park, 053104

Gentle Readers,

Mary Floyd and Andy Higgs led the Monday morning birdwalk at Huntley Meadows 
Park this morning, May 31, 2004.  It rained lightly; the winds were calm, and 
the temperature was warm.  The eighteen observers did not seem to mind the 
drizzle.  A Common Yellowthroat put on a show at the tower.  The Central Pond 
is drying quickly.
