I took advantage of the extra day off to walk from the Courthouse area of
Arlington down to Roosevelt Island and back. Not a lot of birds overall, but
a lot of variety...
First, I saw what I believe to be an immature Peregine Falcon in the trees
along the GW Parkway near the Roosevelt Island Parking Lot. Has anyone else
seen a Peregrine in the area recently? Awfully large to be a Merlin or
Kestrel...
Second, the list for the day:
Black-crowned Night Heron
Belted Kingfisher
Canada Geese
Black Vultures (circling over Rosslyn)
Goldfinch
Hairy Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Carolina Chickadee
Song Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Cardinal
Blue Jay
Junco
House Sparrow
Starling
Euro. Rock Doves
Ring-billed Gull
