[va-bird] Manassas Sparrow walk- 20 Sept.

Despite clouds and slight drizzle, eight birders joined Paula Sullivan and I 
for the Fairfax Audubon Society sponsored sparrow walk at Manassas Battlefield 
Park today.  Highlight sparrow was an adult Grasshopper Sparrow that gave us 
great views through Paula's scope.  Other notable birds were Eastern Phoebe 
(9), a singing Blue-headed Vireo, a single Pine Warbler, Palm Warbler (5), and 
an adult Common Yellowthroat male.  A special thanks to Paul Kane for helping 
us get on some good birds!
