VaBirders,
While strolling this afternoon along the Upland Trail in River Bend
Park, I was treated to a marvelous ten minutes or so, watching a LOUISIANA
WATERTHRUSH forage, preen, and then sit wagging its tail on a branch at my
eye level, all the time in plain view within 15 to 20 yards of trail bridge.
Other afternoon avian treats included another LOWA, two PILEATED WOODPECKERs,
a busy WINTER WREN, a BROWN CREEPER, and a customarily frenetic
GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET. While the river trail was crowded with strollers,
children on bicycles and dogs tugging at their masters' leashes, I had the
Upland Trail all to myself except for two cyclists who were curious about the
LOWA. A most satisfying afternoon.
Good birding. Stuart White, McLean, VA <kirtland1999@xxxxxxx>
