Great Falls NP, VA..........
Friday (9/7) saw a fair migration of Osprey down river (four in 40 minutes).
Saturday was Kingfisher day. From 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM I saw a dozen
Belted Kingfisher noisily rattling down river, usually in groups of two or
more. In the woods only Magnolia Warbler and Red-eyed Vireo as migrants.
New bird at the park for me after 10+ years of listing.......Rock Dove.
Ugh.
Two dead crows were found in the picnic area Saturday. Anyone with the
recommended disposal procedure for dead crows please share with me so I can
forward to the park staff. They do know that no organization is testing in
this area, but wondering whether landfill or woods disposal is appropriate.
Crows are still common in the park.
