[va-bird] Re: Mason Neck SP walk 4/29: GC FLYCATCHER, BT GREEN

Before and after the bird walk, I heard a few good
species singing along High Point Rd., the road that
goes through Mason Neck SP and NWR.  Some of these
birds incl. 1 ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, 1 BLACKBURNIAN
WARBLER, a couple of SCARLET TANAGERS and a LOUISIANA
WATERTHRUSH (this latter species is an uncommon
breeder on Mason Neck).
