Thirty birders came out for an excellent morning of birding. It was a Northern
Virginia Bird Club walk led by Phil Silas and me. Conditions were somewhat
overcast for most of the morning, but we still managed to tally 67 bird species
including thirteen kinds of warblers. We explored the battery area near the
picnic grounds and the trails up the hill from there. We also checked out the
Brushy Point area and walked up to the railroad trestle. Of the warblers, we
had especially nice looks at the Yellow, Prothonotary, Black and White, many
Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Blue and a Northern Parula. The others usually
offered only quick looks or were heard only. We did see both orioles, Scarlet
Tanagers, Great-crested Flycatchers, both commonly seen Terns, and a Blue
Grosbeak. Various butterflies and a Black Rat Snake and Northern Watersnake
were also spotted.
