[va-bird] Loudoun County late winter birds

On walks through the woods, fields and stream bottoms of my Lincoln 
neighborhood the last two days, I saw many nice birds, but mostly winter 
holdovers rather than new arrivals.  The exception was the Phoebes, of which 
there were an abundance.  Highlights were a Winter Wren almost at my feet, 
later heard singing, two Swamp Sparrows in beautiful fresh plumage, 
Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, a very vocal Hairy Woodpecker, two flocks of 6 
Golden-Crowned Kinglets, two Fox Sparrows, Wood Duck and Hooded Merganser 
sharing the beaver's pond, and discovery of this year's nest of our perennial 
Red-Shouldered Hawks.
