VA Birders,
A group of 20 NVBC birders visited Silver Lake Park today and enjoyed finding
61 species including 2 FOS Eastern Kingbirds. Two Common Loons were in breeding
plummage on the lake while a dozen Bufflehead were pairing up on the quarry
pond. Numerous Palm Warblers and a couple Pine and Yellow-rumped were well
seen. Common Yellowthroat and Louisiana Waterthrush were seen briefly by a few.
Eight raptors were seen including 3 Broad-winged Hawks. Singing Field Sparrows
and Brown Thrashers were a welcome sign of Spring! Complete list follows.
