This morning while enjoying breakfast on my porch I was astonished to see a
flock of about 12 great egrets flying by, heading north toward Aldie. Some
other birds I saw or heard are listed below. Unfortunately, none of them
was clearly carrying food or feeding fledglings! A lovely way to start the
day regardless.
