Yesterday morning, Nov 19, 11 people went on a driving & walking bird trip in
northeastern Loudoun County near Lucketts on Limestone School Rd & Hibler Rd.
It was 23 degrees when we met at Temple Hall Farm on Limestone School Rd and
almost 50 degrees when we finished at the alpaca farm at the other end of
Limestone School Rd where we not only saw a Horned Lark but several sulphur
butterflies. Prob. the best sighting of the day was two coyotes near Hibler Rd
but a Horned Lark at the alpaca farm on Limestone School Rd, great views of
White-crowned Sparrows at a couple of locations and an American Tree Sparrow
along Hibler Rd were also nice as well as a good variety of raptors.
