VA Birders,
Today, our CBC team (consisting of four birders) relocated the warbler I saw
on Wednesday on the Alexandria side of Hunting Creek. Hunting Creek is off
the GW Parkway by the Stone Bridge on the Fairfax County-Alexandria border.
Everyone got good looks at the bird and it was determined without question
that it is a Wilson's Warbler (Not an Orange-crowned or Yellow). The bird was
near where I briefly saw it before, but this time it was in the bushes right
next to the parking lot. Other birds of interest on our CBC route included a
Lesser Black-backed Gull in the Potomac at the Stone Bridge, two Peregrine
Falcons on the Wilson Bridge, and three Black-crowned Night-Herons at the
Alexandria Power Plant. We had a total of 63 species.
