Hi Reta,
     Here's the report of our Audubon Club of the Northern Neck Birdwalk of 
Monday, 4/8/13.  Eleven club members were joined by two campers at Belle Isle 
State Park on a gorgeous sunny day.  Frank Schaff led the group and we had a 
nice high count of 42 species!  The temperature soared and we peeled off our 
layers of clothing as it reached 79 degrees by the time we finished our walk in 
Belle Isle's various habitats.  
     The birds are as follows:
     Red-winged Blackbird, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Field Sparrow, Song Sparrow, 
Northern Mockingbird, Northern Cardinal, Carolina Wren, Eastern Bluebird, 
American Crow, Chipping Sparrow, Brown-headed Cowbird, Yellow-rumped Warbler, 
SOLITARY SANDPIPER IN A PUDDLE IN THE CORNFIELD, Bald Eagle, Red-bellied 
Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, White-throated Sparrow, Red-tailed Hawk, Mourning 
Dove, Blue Jay, Double-crested Cormorant, Osprey, Pine Warbler, Brown-headed 
Nuthatch, Turkey Vulture, Wood Duck, Canada Goose, Downey Woodpecker, Forster's 
Tern, Ring-billed Gull, Horned Grebe, Bufflehead, Common Grackle, Greater 
Scaup, White-winged Scoter, Great Blue Heron Red-breasted Merganser, Wild 
Turkey, Tufted Titmouse and Mallard.
     Two Auditory birds were heard:
      Clapper Rail and a Common Loon.
     The Horned Grebes we saw, three of them, were in full summer plumage known 
by the reddish neck, Buffy gold "horns" on black heads.  They showed up so 
nicely in the sunlight in the water on both Frank and Lance's scopes.  
     The Green Frog and Peepers were making themselves heard.
     Ten of us were able to go to lunch at the Lancaster Tavern and we had a 
nice time as usual.  Take care for now.
                                    Happy birding,
                                    Maryalyce J. Johnsen
