[va-bird] Dyke Marsh Field Trip, Frfx Co, 4/21/02

VA BIRDers,

Ed Eder lead an intrepid group for the regular Sunday morning Field Trip at 
Dyke Marsh (sponsored by the Friends of Dyke Marsh and free to all).  Dodging 
a few drops of water and many marathon runners, the group found several 
interesting species.  Common Loons were calling off the picnic area; nearby 
was a Pied-billed Grebe.  Two pairs of Bufflehead swam in Hunting Cr Bay and 
a few Lesser Scaup were about.  Many Osprey were around and adult and 
immature Bald Eagle put in an appearance.  A large raft of American Coots is 
still present.  Both Caspian and Forster's Tern were noted.  The picnic area 
hosted its first arriving Warbling Vireo, giving all great views from a 
Sycamore Tree branch.  Eastern Kingbirds were found in a few places.  Along 
the trail an Ovenbird called and Red-eyed Vireo, No. Parulas, Yellow Warblers 
and Yellow-rumped Warblers were noted.  Along the dogleg, several Orchard 
Orioles were spotted.
