FreeLists / va-bird / [va-bird] Willow Flycatchers, Chat at Riverside Park (Loudoun Cty 6/4/05)

["Andy Rabin" <andyrabin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spent an hour or two early this morning walking around Riverside Park. I was 
surprised to see a Yellow-breasted Chat singing away, as I haven't seen one 
there before and haven't read any reports from others. Other (potentially 
breeding) birds of interest included Willow Flycatchers (probably 2 different 
males), Eastern Meadowlark, Orchard Orioles (a couple first-year males), Yellow 
Warbler and Baltimore Oriole.
Other wildlife included an American Toad, Gray Treefrogs (heard), and 
dragonflies, including a recently emerged Black-shouldered Spinyleg and a pair 
of mating clubtails (probably Cobra Clubtails).
