Hi Birders,
Eight observers from The Northern Va Bird Club saw 37 species at Huntley
3/16/06. The weather was pleasant with a sharp wind at times.
The rusty blackbirds and snipe were seen from the tower on the shore at the
beginning of the water. The Winter Wren was seen from the observation point
for Red-headed Woodpeckers on the informal trail. The wren sang one short song.
