Hi all,
I visited Algonkian Park in Sterling yesterday on a whim because of the
great weather and I'm glad I did. I didn't find anything spectacular but
the day was beautiful and the birds were hopping. Highlights were a Winter
Wren, two Barred Owls being very vocal in the middle of the and in the
midst of a lot of human activity, an abundance of diurnal raptors, with the
highlight being 4 Bald Eagles at once over the Potomac (two adults soaring
together and separately, two second or third year birds with one chasing
the other), a Pileated Woodpecker fearlessly feeding a few feet away from
me for quite a while, and my first swallows the of the year (5 Tree near
the golf course).
