No, Jay, I didn't think to try the parula but now that I listen, it sounds
right. Thanks,

Cliff,
Did you try the Northern Parula? Crescent-chested is a Parulid as well
and
seems to have a buzzy trill that is similar to the first part of our
Parula.

Subject: [va-bird] Black-crowned Night-Herons in Shirlington
I saw two adult BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS this afternoon in Shirlingtonin
trees overhanging Arlington Mill Run (from South Arlington Mill Drivenear
28th Rd S.). As I was walking away after photographing the herons, aI
Killdeer flew up the run carrying an earthworm and landed on a sandbar.
also got a fleeting glimpse of a warbler, yellowish in the side, but Ibut
didn't get a good enough look to identify it. I thought I had the song,
checking warblers' songs in Thayer's software turned up theCrescent-chested
Warbler as most similar to what I recall hearing. Of course, thatspecies
is
would not be found here, so any suggestions of what it might have been?email to va-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. To unsubscribe, send email to
There was a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD who wanted his picture taken and an
AMERICAN ROBIN ensconced on a stump, almost like it was nesting there.
Pictures of the heron, et al., may be found at
