[va-bird] NVBC Lucketts Trip, Saturday, 5/25/02

    Highlights of our Northern Virginia Bird Club's field trip to the 
Lucketts area, in northern Loudoun Co., were:  at least 100 Purple Martins at 
what we have dubbed "Martin City"--the colony behind the house on Rt. 662 
across from the Presbyterian Church--and at least 60 Tree Swallows, most of 
them there as well; a Yellow-breasted Chat, which sat up on the telephone 
wire and sang and displayed for us on Rt. 658; 4 Grasshopper Sparrows, also 
on Rt. 658; and a Blue Grosbeak at the end of Rt. 656 (the "Pig Farm" road).  
The 5 club members who took part in the trip went around Lucketts in 2 cars, 
and we communicated with each other with our 2-way radios.  We found a total 
of 59 species on the trip.
