Good morning,
After seeing a female Yellowstart at our small backyard pond, we made
a quick trip to Runnymede Park in the middle of Herndon. The eastern
part of the park includes Sugarland Run.
While total number of species wasn't high, we saw good numbers of the
warbler species. Finding male Scarlet Tanager and Baltimore Oriole in
their summer plumage was a real treat.
Here's the list.
Turkey Vulture
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Northern Flicker
Pileated Woodpecker
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Great Crested Flycatcher
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue Jay
American Crow

White-breasted Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
Gray Catbird
Tennessee Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
American Redstart
Scarlet Tanager
Northern Cardinal
Baltimore Oriole

Good birding to all,
Jay and Carol Hadlock
Herndon, VA (Fairfax County)
