One addition to today's list that I forgot to mention
during the tally. Candice L. and I heard 2 Common
Ravens when we were all in the woods.

20 people came out for the Northern Virginia Bird
Club walk at Blandy Farm today. It was a fabulous
day to be out birding and we had a nice variety of
birds to make the day even more enjoyable.
Highlights included an LA Waterthrush, a Rusty
Blackbird, a Vesper Sparrow seen flying away, Brown
Thrashers and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker that
entertained us while we were compiling the list. We
also saw a Red-headed Woodpecker along the public
road that makes up part of the Driving Loop. In
addition to the Vesper, we had some other nice
sparrow sightings including singing Fox and
White-crowned Sparrows. I heard a Chickadee singing
like a Black-capped, but I did not see the bird.
Does anyone know if a hybrid would sing a
Back-capped song, or is it more likely the bird was
actually a BC Chickadee? Thanks to Joanna Taylor and
Scott Baron for co-leading with me, since I was
somewhat handicapped by a case of laryngitis.
