All,
17 Warbler species were reported at Monticello today, including male
Blackburnian, male Bay-breasted, and male and female Mourning
Warblers. The Olive-sided Flycatcher reported in the park yesterday
was not relocated today, though this bird was present at Monticello
as recently as late yesterday evening, when six birders had a good
opportunity to view this bird through a spotting scope. This was a
life bird for four of these observers. I did have an opportunity to
digiscope the bird. The digiscopes are not remarkable, though they
are diagnostic.
To my knowledge, the only place Mourning Warblers were located today
was at the top of the park. Highlight of the day today was a male
Blackburnian and Bay-breasted and bathing in the stream together.
The late Junco continues to be in the park, and this evening a Gray-
cheeked Thrush was bombing around the in the lower stream.
Monticello park is located on Beverly Drive in Alexandria, VA.
