A small group of birders from the Northern Virginia Bird Club took a walk
around Occoquan Bay NWR today.? Nothing really notable, but we heard a King
Rail, Northern Parula, and a few Northern Bobwhites.? Some of the birds we
actually saw included both types of Orioles, Yellow Warblers, and some quick
looks at Chats. The walk was led by Jay Keller and me.
