[va-bird] Palm warbler at Huntley Meadows

Paula Sullivan and I went to the King Street side of Huntley Meadows (Fairfax 
County) today.  The best bird of the day was a Palm Warbler (nearly in 
alternate plumage) in the little meadow along the Pond Trail. (Kurt, what is 
the early date for this species?)  We also had a singing Pine Warbler at the 
same location and a second singing Pine Warbler in the North Marsh. Four 
Yellow-rumps made it a three warbler species day. 

Three pair of Eastern Phoebes were observed, with at least one bird at the 
maintenance building gathering nesting material.  We also tallied 2 Hermit 
Thrushes.  Song Sparrow migration must be at the peak.  We counted 82 of these 
guys!
