[va-bird] Re: Tysons Area Green Herons

> All,

      I am grateful to see Jeff's posting as this morning there were two green 
herons flying over the urban drainage pond we like to call the Bird Refuge at 
Nutley and Rte 66 as I walked to the train.

      There have been influxes of new birds here, such as chimney swifts, and 
barn swallows, and the heron population has been more stable with great blue in 
evidence almost daily, and a pair of black crowned night herons stopping by 
from time to time.

      Not an exotic location as those being visited outside the Beltway, but a 
good increase in variety.
