Dear VA Birders;
14 alert birders participated today in the monthly bird walk at the
Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship, co-sponsored by the
Center and the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy. We broke into two
groups, covering the Farmstead Loop and the power cut loop. We were
able to locate 60 species, despite the fact that singing activity has
fallen off markedly since earlier in the month. Highlights were
Kentucky, Blue-winged, and Cerulean Warbler.
Other notable finds were a Ragged French orchid (blooming in the power
cut) and an angry copperhead along the Farmstead Loop.
