The twelve people on this morning's walk at Banshee found 56 species. The
highlights were the 10 warbler species along with one NORTHERN HARRIER, three
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS, and a RAVEN and an almost complete lack of sparrows.
Many of the warblers, some adults and many first year birds, were well-seen by
the entire group To see the complete list see the eBird report below.
The regular monthly free bird walk (every 2nd Sat) at the Banshee Reeks Nature
Preserve is sponsored by the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy
(www.loudounwildlife.org) and the Friends of Banshee Reeks
(www.bansheereeks.org).; information on both and their upcoming events can be
found on their websites. On these Saturdays, depending on the weather & the
time of the year, we often visit the Dulles Greenway Wetlands Mitigation
Project either before or after the Banshee walk.
