While doing some clean-up work for the Dyke Marsh breeding bird survey today
(18 July), I found a southbound migrant Louisiana Waterthrush foraging on the
Hike-Bike trail between bridges 17 and 18 along the GW Parkway.
Not much new for the survey. Although I found a Great Crested Flycatcher,
Acadian Flycatcher, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo at the same locations as on
previous survey outings, I could find no evidence of breeding. I did find a
fledgling catbird and a nestling Osprey testing his wings at the Pipeline Bay
nest site (the overlook between Tulane Drive and Morningside Lane).
