[va-bird] Snipe, tree and savannah sparrow, Huntley Meadows on Monday

I treated the Hike/Bike Trail as my extended backyard for the GBBC on
Monday.  I flushed the snipe in the Woodcock Meadow (definitely not a
woodcock ? I got fine views in flight and on the ground).  I also saw or
heard the resident catbird in the Woodcock Meadow and the phoebe near the
platform.  Good numbers of flickers and golden-crowned kinglets.  The full
