[va-bird] Huntley, On Sleeping Birds Spied

Chris French, Mary Floyd, and Gene Keefe led the eleven observers of the 
Monday Morning Birdwalk at Huntley Meadows Park from 0700 to 0930 this 
morning.  It was a bright, sunny, calm, slightly cool day.  It was also a 
good day to be birding.  The highlights of the trip included a Swainson's 
Thrush and two Cliff Swallows.  The Spring Warbler Migration appears to be 
past the peak for the season.  Late warblers are beginning to appear.
