The Northern Virginia Bird Club walk at Occoquan Bay NWR this morning was a
bit slow, with few migrants. Local breeders such as chat, prairie warbler,
prothonotary warbler, and indigo bunting were in full force but some
expected species such as warbling vireo and willow flycatcher were no shows.
Highlights were king rail at the culvert on the wildlife drive (responded to
some clapping) and a common nighthawk. The complete list is below.
