Five people found 52 species on the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's regular
monthly (every 4th Sat.) walk at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental
Stewardship in northwestern Loudoun Co. The highlights of the walk included 7
dif. warbler species, including Worm-eating, Louisiana and Kentucky, an Acadian
Flycatcher feeding young in a nest, noisy White-eyed Vireos and Chats, and
several just-fledged birds. Many species which had been very vocal recently,
such as Scarlet Tanagers and Louisiana Waterthrushes, were much quieter this
week
The walk concentrated on the northern half of the center and did not visit the
powercut in the southern section, prob. the most productive spot at the center,
esp. this time of year.
