The Northern Virginia Bird Club visited Leesylvania State Park this morning,
and the 19 attendees enjoyed a birdy morning with 81 species. Highlights
were many orchard orioles and a single male Baltimore oriole, blue-headed
vireos, yellow-throated vireo, northern and Louisiana waterthrush, prairie
warbler, prothonotary warbler, some late juncos, merlin, spotted sandpiper,
horned grebe, and Bonaparte's gull. The bird of the morning, though, was a
very out of place eastern meadowlark, seen only by Scott Priebe and me in
the picnic area before the walk officially started. Definitely a migrant.
The complete list is below.
