[va-bird] Louisiana Waterthrush at Blue Ridge Center

> Dear VA Birders;
13 birders from Loudoun, Fairfax, and West Virginia showed up this 
morning for the monthly bird walk at the Blue Ridge Center for 
Environmental Stewardship nestled below the Blue Ridge in far western 
Loudoun County.   Breaking into two groups we covered forest, stream 
valley, and brushy meadow habitat within the Center's 1200 acres.   We 
identified 53 species.   Highlights were 4 Louisiana Waterthrush 
singing along Piney Run, 2 Pine Warblers, 16 Goldencrowned Kinglets, 11 
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, a Cooper's Hawk, a Barred Owl, and a Winter 
Wren.
