VA BIRDers,
I encountered a singing ("chu-wee") Yellow-bellied Flycatcher at Dyke Marsh
(Fairfax Co) late this afternoon just a few hundred yards down Haul Road. At
Monticello Park (City of Alexandria) this morning, a Least Flycatcher was
working the tops of the trees and a Philadelphia Vireo was at the mid-height
range near the street.
The cold weather brought many of the neo-trops down to eye level at the
postage stamp sized park of Monticello and here are some estimates of the
birds I encountered.
Ruby-thr Hummingbird 1
Philadelphia Vireo 1
Red-eyed Vireo 15-18
House Wren 2
Swainson's Thrush 2-3
